Pruning of a Silver Pear

Pruning of trees with a “weeping” habit is never as simple as pruning a “normal” tree, but it's actually not that difficult to do, it's just rather time consuming. 

 


Instead of merely shortening/removing certain branches, you have to think about the overall shape of the tree, and where the individual branches are going, and you have to remove branches and twigs carefully, one by one. 

The photo above is of the annual trim of a small, but quite mature Weeping Pear....
