each dormant season to maintain balance between the branches and a good yield. As a general rule, pruning encourages more vigorous growth, but too much can weaken the tree against diseases and pests. Tune and shape the pear tree as needed, but without getting carried away.
Select a central branch and other support branches. [1] After the tree shoots grow to about 10 to 12.7 cm, choose one branch to act as the main and three to six side branches or support. Remove the rest.
The central branch should come out of the trunk towards the center of the tree coming directly from the base of it, not from another branch.
The supporting branches should be spaced at equal intervals around the trunk and spaced apart vertically by about 15 cm.
When cutting, remove the entire branch from the base of the trunk. The cut should be done along the outer edge of the collar, where the branch meets the tree. If you only cut a part, the branch will grow again and create structural problems.
Reduce the central twig during the second year. In the second dormant season, cut the central branch about one-third of its current height to stimulate more vigorous growth.
The cut should be made close to a bud that is growing at an angle greater than 45 degrees. Alternatively, you can also cut near a side branch you plan to keep.
Eliminate too many large branches during the second year. [2] You may have more than six lateral branches in the second year, but those that are too large or too large can compete with the main and should be removed.
Cut the branch at the base where it meets the tree trunk.
The too large branches include those with more than one-half or one-third of the diameter of the central branch.
Remove other unwanted twigs. During the second year, you should also remove the damaged branches and those that are healthy but that extend from the trunk at an almost vertical angle.
The nearly vertical branches include any that extends at an angle of less than 45 degrees. The ideal, however, is that they extend at angles ranging from 60 to 75 degrees.
Train pruning in the first three years. Pruning will need to be minimal during this period so that the tree can produce enough fruitful branches.
Follow the same pruning suggestions for the second year during the third year. Decrease the central twig by one-third or half of its current length, eliminate the oversized branches, remove the damaged twigs, and cut off the vertical ones.
After the first three years, you can prune the pear tree to produce a harvest.
