Some"general" tree pruning advice: First, decide on the height and shape you wish to finally achieve, keep in mind this may take 3 or 4 years to achieve on mature, overgrown trees. Never prune off more than ⅓ in a pruning season (per year). Keep the tree balanced ie Don't prune one side"heavily" &. Summer pruning of pear trees is normally reserved for espaliers and cordon shaped trees but it can also be used to force a pear tree into bearing fruit if it is reluctant to do so.

The normal reason for a pear tree not flowering and bearing fruit is that it is growing in perfect conditions! Prune annually to keep the tree healthy, productive and looking its best. It can take 3 to 10 years for trees to begin flowering and producing fruit. Mature pear trees are large and produce a lot of fruit in a short window of time. Fruit should be picked at a mature stage and then allowed to ripen indoors. Two trees of the same variety will not pollinate each other.

If you are in an isolated area and only want to plant one tree, choose a self-fertile variety. If in doubt, and you have space for more than one tree of the same species (e.g.

2 apple trees or 2 plum trees), plant two compatible varieties. A massive garden is not needed as these will thrive in patio planters and can be easily kept as compact towers with pruning.
