That pears in garden well fructified, were not surprised fungal diseases, and their branches did not break under weight of fruits, it is necessary to form and clarify krone regularly. Cutting – responsible agrotechnical reception, at inept approach it is possible not only to lose part of harvest, but also to completely ruin tree.
The main objective of forming of krone of pear – creation of strong skeleton which will manage to sustain weight of harvest. In addition it is necessary that all branches were evenly lit with the sun, and the tree was convenient to be processed from diseases and wreckers.
How to form tree
After landing it is only necessary to truncate slightly sapling branches to facilitate its rooting. The next year also you should not cut off pear strongly – at this time it almost does not need forming except that excess branches should be unbent from top to bottom and to fix in horizontal position at the earth. This reception is necessary in order that pear has begun to fructify earlier.
For the third year it is necessary to delete the excess branches growing up at an acute angle and shading krone. It is necessary to leave escapes with wide corners – in this case at heavy load there will be no risk that they will break off under weight of fruits. Optimal classical variant: to leave one central conductor and three well developed branches departing at an angle not less than 60 degrees, all other branches need to be cut secateurs, without leaving stumps. The remained branches need to be truncated on 1/3 part of their length, at the same time to watch that height of the chief conductor exceeded length of other branches on 15-20 cm. For this purpose the central conductor of tree is shortened on 9-10 kidneys, delete the branches growing at an acute angle and also slightly cut off length of new branches, watching that they did not overtake the main branches in growth. The central conductor needs to be reduced by the fourth year of life of tree on 7-8 kidneys again, to cut the competing branches "on ring", to cut off all remained branches on 1/3 part. At the same time it is still necessary to watch that the conductor remained the highest part of tree, and all other branches have been "subordinated" to it. On the fifth and the next years it is necessary to thin out and clarify crown, deleting the damaged and weak branches.
When to carry out cutting
The best time for cutting of pear – early spring, prior to the beginning of sokodvizheniye though carrying out and autumn cutting, at the end of August beginning of September is in certain cases possible. This reception is more relevant for regions with mild climate and allows to create the pyramidal krone having a positive impact on quality and quantity of harvest. For cutting the sharp secateurs are necessary excessively not to injure branch. When using secateurs it is necessary to direct narrow part of edge to that part of branch which needs to be cut off – it will help to cut branch without zalom of bark and the tree will suffer less. All branches need to be cut "on ring", i.e. it is impossible to leave stump. Also it is required garden var to treat the fresh wounds – it is necessary to cover them at once not to allow penetration of wreckers and causative agents of diseases. The greatest efficiency of pear can be reached only at skillful forming of krone therefore you should not neglect this reception.
