This beauty is valued not only for a gentle flesh, an excellent taste and a special flavor, but also has diet properties. Pear helps to get rid of problems with digestion and normalizes the work of the kidneys. Vitamins and trace elements available in sweet fruit will become an excellent vitamin additive. Is it difficult to grow a pear on his preservation site? Gardeners say that the tree is unpretentious and gives a good crop of fruits, if you perform the trimming of pears in the spring.
It's just necessary to care for the tree: timely trimming, watering, making fertilizers and vaccination - all these events will help you in the future to have a good harvest even from one tree. Most inexperienced and novice gardeners believe that it is possible to cut a pear according to the rules of cropping apple trees. In general, the principle of work is the same, but there are some differences.
About the time
Why do you need to study the trimming tree in the spring period? This question is asked by many dacities. The answer is simple: if you cut the branches in the pear in the fall, then with the onset of cold weather, the tree can freeze and even die. There are certain rules for cutting pear and in the autumn period, but not in order to form a tree crown, but to get rid of damaged and dry branches.
Experienced gardeners will recommend to engage in the trimming of fruit trees in the garden only with the onset of spring, when the snow begins to melting to have time before the vegetative period. Optimal air temperature +5 oWITH.
It is important to have time to catch the kidney on the tree, in this case you can form a plant to the crown so that the tree is compact in the future. But this is not the only goal that needs to be completed - the pear begins to be well fron, if the plant gets a lot of light and air, and each branch is withstanding the load of pouring fruits.
You can not cut a pear in the summer, so as not to deprive the tree of food, because with superfluous branches will be cut and leaves.
Pruning is best to start at a young age and, if possible, make this manipulation every year to form a strong crown. An annual plant trimming will not need, as the pear still does not need the formation of an open crown, the plant is only gaining strength.
Trimming young pear in spring
Saplings that have reached the age of 2 can already trim.
Rules trimming young trees:
- it is necessary to measure the distance from the ground level (halfer) and trim the branch;
- the main or central trunk must be shortened by 1/4;
- neighboring branches can be cut not at the same distance, but by forming "ring";
- leave 4 side branches that are the basis of the trunk, the rest can be cut off;
- if you saw that the wound was forces on the shoots, then these branches need to be tilted down and leave in the "horizontally" position;
- all other branches need to bendled and tie the rope to the trunk.
A year later, with the onset of spring, it is necessary to quickly trim the pear again, only now you need to pay attention to the runs of the second order and cut off the branches so that they do not cover and do not interfere with the growth of major central shoots.
If new branches have grown inside the crown, and they interfere with normal growth and penetration of light, they must also be removed.
Skin trim in spring scheme:
There is nothing difficult in performing this work, the main thing is to prepare the necessary tool and choose the appropriate time. To form the right crown of the tree, you will need special garden scissors - young branches are well circumcised by this tool.
It is advisable to have your own set of tools: you will have a secateur and garden scissors for cutting out young and dry branches, as well as garden saws and suchcores, to work with adult plants.
In order for the tool to cope with the tasks set, it is necessary to contain a cutting part clean, to freely release from dust and pollution and sharpen in time. If the blade is stupid, the location of the cut will be ugly, torn - it does not only make it difficult to work, but also harms a tree.
Select the weather in order to prepare a tree - this is one of the basic rules, observing which you can achieve good results. If time is chosen unsuccessfully, while carrying out the trimming of pear branches, the plant with the onset of severe frosts may die or will be damaged.
Before you begin to form a pear crown in the spring, you must wait for a stable weather. When the average daily air temperature will begin to rise every day - it's time to start work.
Every year you have to pay less time to trimming the plant, because the growth of young shoots will be slowed down. To update the tree and run the processes of rejuvenation, 1 time in 2-4 years old should be trimmed from the inside of the crown, shorter shoots in a circle. You can delete damaged and weak branches. Experienced gardeners recommend not to remove the branches, leaving hemp - best use the saw and cut the branch to the base, under the ring.
This part of the work should be done as careful as possible not to harm the young tree. A deep wound on a pear will heal for a long time, which means that all the strength of the plant will only leave for it, and we need a pear to develop normally and fruit. If you cut a thick branch, then the seat of the sleeve must be sealing the garden harder or take advantage of special paint and paint the wound.
What else to take into account with the spring trimming of a young pear? Perhaps, only the fact that after you deal with the work, it is not recommended to help the tree to recover after drinking branches, so you should not make nitrogen additives, since all the forces will be aimed at faster to cope with the fresh wound. By the way, I spent better to do smooth to prevent the bark.

Adult Plant Pruning Rules
As we have already found out, it is necessary to cut a pear only in the spring, in the autumn you can perform sanitary cleaning and in the second half of September it is free from damaged and dry branches. Cropped branches need to burn or carry away from the garden plot.
Annual shoots are allowed to shorten a little (only 1/3 of the total length) to prepare a pear to the new season. Just do not forget to leave some young kidneys below, so that new branches for them.
On this autumn trimming is completed, and now you can familiarize yourself with the rules for the preparation of adult tree to the new season. Many residents in inexperience are often afraid to cut off the excess branch from the tree, so as not to harm and let the process on Samotek. The pear is growing greatly, harvest is very difficult and every year the fruit is becoming less and less.
How to perform pruning:
- The first to be removed by shoots that depart from the barrel. Cutting angle should be equal to 90 o. After completing this work, you can begin to point the order on the shoots located in parallel to the main barrel that grow up.
- According to the rules of trimming, it is necessary to cut extra branches so that there are no hemp. But that's not all - do not grab the extra branches, otherwise the deep incision will be for a long time.
- If the branch exceeds the diameter of 3 cm, then you first need to cut it down from below, and then cut on top. So the bark of the tree will remain a whole (if you cut only on top, then under your weight, the branch will fall and the bark will damn), and you will quickly cope with the work.
- Cutting places are processed by garden harr. If this is not done, the tree allocates juice, becomes weak, and still the juice lures insects.
- Imagine immediately after trimming branches, it is impossible, since all the necessary nutrients, the tree gets from a powerful root system.
- Do not rush to do pruning early, wait for the warm weather, so as not to harm the fruit tree.

Forming a crown of an adult tree, it is necessary to remove the extra mass every year so that the tree get enough air and light. When this part of the work is completed, you can start trimming young branches growing parallel to the trunk. In general, the principle of circumcision of a young tree and an adult looks like. Depending on the number of young shoots, it is necessary to engage them by trimming on 1/3, so that the new branch began to grow faster and form.
The first crop of pears, depending on the variety, can be obtained for the 3rd year, and there is also such a variety of wood, beginning to be froning only for the 12th year of life. Imagine how much you have to wait for the gardeners to assess the result of painstaking work?
To approximate the duration of the fruiting, it is necessary to break the crown, then the pear branches will begin to get more air and reach to the light source. So the tree will "switch" to fruiting and will not direct all the forces on the growth of young shoots. To achieve this, you can perform a point of growth in the young shoot, which means bringing to the formation of new fruits.

Trimming the old pear
It is not always possible to plant a young fruit garden to keep it in order. And if you got a plot with old fruit trees? I don't want to get rid of many popular varieties of fruit trees, so you can solve the problem differently and crop the old tree. The procedure is quite troublesome and serious, so it is necessary to prepare a tool, staircase, rope and invite assistant. Together you will be easier to cope with the unloading of an adult tree.
First of all, you need to remove the top of the crown, do not regret young shoots. After all, the pear is considered a long-liver in the garden, so why do we just have an old tree, giving small fruits? After all, our task is to improve their quality and increase yield. Therefore, the old tree can be cut even half! Do not be afraid to spoil it, the pear will persistently transfer rejuvenation and will soon restore fruiting.
After trimming the trunk from above, it's time to engage in trim branches from the bottom - the bottom can be left 2 rows of thick branches ("skeletal" - up to 7 pcs.). Adhere to the distance between each tier branches - 1 m. If this is not possible, then we cut partially and medium branches, leaving only those that are perpendicular to the main barrel.
Do not forget to cut forward the crown, having saved the old tree from shoots located or crossed inside. Do not be afraid to get rid of thick trunks, they will no longer bring use to the tree.
If the height of the tree is small (within 4-5 m), then the harvest is easier to collect, because under the weight of mature fruit, the upper branches are tilted down. The result of your work can be estimated in a year when the plant recover from trimming and will give a lot of large, juicy and fragrant fruits.
