Attach cord to bottle with a small amount of e-6000 or good quality silicone adhesive, placed as small globs in 3 different spots.
In the spring, after the pear tree has blossomed, the blossoms have fallen off, and the fruit bud is visible, select a bud that is at or near the end of a branch that is thin enough to fit into the opening in the bottle.

Carefully insert the bud into the bottle.
- Use hanger wire to snugly wrap around the neck of the bottle and last part of the base of the bottle.
- connect the two wrapped end with the wire so that it does not slip.
- This would be fail-proof hanging strap for the bottle on to a branch of the tree.
Secure the branch into the bottle using green florist tape, by wrapping the tape around the bottle neck and working toward the branch.
This keeps rain from getting into the bottle.
Reposition the bottle occasionally to allow the fruit to grow and minimize the amount of time the fruit touches the bottle in one spot.
Unwrap the florist tape and carefully pull the branch out of the bottle until the fruit hits the neck. Gently twist and pull on branch until fruit comes loose.

It is also wise to place the bottle about 2 feet (0.6 m) in to the foliage to provide ample shade.

Only use the bottles that have perfect looking fruit inside.

It is a good idea to put twice as many bottles out as you may require, to make sure you have a selection come harvest time.
