for winter damage, wait to prune until late winter. Give your pear trees the proper growing environment. Then maintain a regular pruning schedule to enhance the best possible fruit production. Set a three-year plan to get your pear trees into the shape by marigold2

Ivy or not?
maintaining. I cut back about 3 recycling bags of the stuff I can reach every 4 weeks or so. I have had to resort to burning it as it grows quicker than I can get rid of it. I wouldnt dream of getting rid of it for an easier life but boy I would never plant it.. by gcowen
