Pear Tree Pruning

1. Spring pruning

At this time, the pear trees will sprout and the branches and leaves will grow luxuriantly, usually in March and April. The main purpose of pruning is to cut off branches that do not bear fruit, otherwise they will absorb a lot of nutrients and affect the amount of fruit.

2. Summer pruning

In summer, pruning should be done around June, when its flower buds are differentiating. Reasonable pruning will be more conducive to the differentiation of flower buds. The method is also very simple. Just cut off some of the smaller, weaker and denser flower buds so that it can bloom and bear fruit better.

3. Autumn Pruning

If done at this time, the main thing is to prune the branches and leaves that affect its growth. The purpose is to not affect the tree's ability to receive light, and the leaves that block the light need to be cut off. Secondly, if there are any dry and yellow branches and leaves, they should be trimmed clean at that time.

4. Winter pruning

Winter pruning is to allow it to grow branches and leaves better, and the time is roughly from November to February of the following year. When pruning, the stronger branches and leaves should be cut off. The pruning range can be slightly larger, and diseased and weak branches should be pruned off.
