Pruning pears. Advice

The pear grows very intensively, and this is the first thing to consider when starting pruning. Pear per year can grow to a height of more than half a meter, and all the branches are pointed exactly up. This arrangement of branches prevents a strong thickening of the tree crown, which, for example, is observed in apple trees, but it is necessary to regulate the height of the crown all the time in order to more easily harvest. For this, the pruning trim of the young pear is applied.

Such pruning should be done annually, otherwise branches of two or three years old will have to be removed, and such branches usually heal longer, sometimes three to four years. Forming pruning of pears contributes to an increase in yield, and, moreover, inhibits strong growth. Increased attention should be paid to vaccinated pears, because immediately under the place of inoculation very quickly begin to grow wild, unnecessary processes. They need to be removed immediately, as they draw valuable substances onto themselves and drown out cultural shoots. The frequency and intensity of shaping pruning are directly dependent on the pear variety, which are divided into three main categories - low-growth, medium-growth and high-growth. When forming pruning, all unnecessary branches are removed, and the rest is simply shortened. Thick shoots, as well as shoots that grow inside the crown, should also be removed. Typically, pruning pruning is used only in the early years of young trees.

With age, the growth rate of the tree slows down, and then the rejuvenating Trimming. Such pruning of pears extends life to trees and promotes the production of good harvests. It is usually held in late autumn or early spring. All old branches are removed, plucked, branches are tied, all this creates favorable conditions for the rapid growth of young shoots, which will yield a good harvest.

In severe frosts, the bark of the tree becomes extremely fragile, and it can easily be damaged, so it is not recommended to trim with strong frosts. However, many gardeners and gardeners practice winter pruning of pears, when the tree is at rest and easily tolerates the trimming operation. When a disease of the tree is carried out sanitary pruning. Such pruning of pears can be carried out in late autumn to prepare the tree for wintering. In time damaged branches, as well as branches that are infected with harmful insects, are removed. After pruning, the pear is treated with chemical preparations that prevent the further development of the disease and repel insects. All slices must be treated and greased with a garden saver.

Supporting pruning of pears is necessary during the period of tree growth and fruiting, as it allows to regulate the number of half-ripe and fruit formations for balancing and stabilizing the process of tree growth, as well as to maintain constant fruiting.

One of the most common is pruning pears in the spring. In order to not grow a huge tree in the garden, which does not yield a crop, in early spring, pruning with a special pruner. One-year-old sapling is cut at a height of 35 or 50 centimeters above the soil level. But the most popular is the planting of two-year-old seedlings. In this case, the central conducting branch is shortened by a third, and the vertical shoots are cut off under the circle.
