Default Moved Pear tree and now Smelly hedge identification - more help needed - please

Hi Folks
Sorry for the delay - Had a few things to do, as promised here is an update
about moving the pear tree, as you can see its still in its pot and has been
watered twice a day since the move on the 23rd of June, unfortunately there
is no shade in the new garden after 11am

still seems ok but when to plant it out, do I water constantly in the pot
until it becomes dormant in the autumn or do I plant it out as soon as its
position is prepared??

Thanks for all your help


Another issue, in the new house we have inherited a handsome hedge which
does a great job of sheilding us from the road

What is it - any ideas, heres a close up shot

it appears to have some disease any clue would be useful, I was planning on
cutting it right back to the dark green healthy leaves. In the dry it has
no smell at all but as soon as it gets damp IT SMELLS, initially I thought
we had a cracked sewer but it is definitely the hedge, dampening a few of
the leaves produces the revolting smell - what is causing it (nothing
rotting underneath)
