| How To Prune Pear Trees In this article you will find out how to prune pear
trees. Pruning pear trees can be done several ways. The pruning of pear trees,
in the early stages, follows the same pattern as that for apples. Basically, the
treatment of established bushes, in a garden, is also the same for pears and
apples. There are, however, a few points to which attention should be drawn. How
to prune pear trees - General: Pears, generally, will stand harder pruning than
apples without being forced into excessive wood growth. Bush trees should be
encouraged to form a sturdy framework of branches by moderately hard pruning
during the early years. Three or 4 suitably placed branches are pruned to
produce 6 or 8 further branches from 2 well-positioned buds, this process can be
repeated in the following year Charlotte Olympia. Once the basic
framework of the tree has been established, pruning should be lighter until the
tree begins to bear. As pears generally tend to spur up more freely than apples,
once the trees have started cropping it will be necessary to thin out the spur
systems frequently, to encourage new wood growth. How to prune pear trees -
Older trees: On older trees which have been spur-pruned rather too thoroughly,
it will be of benefit to reduce drastically the amount of fruiting wood, and
cutting back branches to produce new growth is advisable post by haiyan701.
Renewal pruning, as for apples, is practiced, bearing in mind that more wood may
be removed, without producing excessive new growth. How to prune pear trees -
Varieties: Varietal Habit is a factor to consider, for certain pears have a much
more erect habit of growth than apples. This is particularly noticeable in
Doyenne du Cornice, Fertility and Conference, when hard pruned. When pruning
branch leaders to a bud for extension growth, it is better to prune to a bud
above the outward-pointing one required Charlotte

outward-pointing bud will then grow out at a wider angle, the unwanted portion
being removed later. Other varieties, such as Catillac and Beurre d'Amanlis,
also Conference when lightly pruned, have a spreading tendency, and it may be
better to prune to an upward bud, or even to a bud above the upward one
required, removing the unwanted portion later, as before.
