Thanks for your feedback! Take it slow since you haven't pruned it for. Long time. Take just maybe 1/3 off so it doesn't get shock. As it grows over next summer and winter, prune a little more each time to your desired shape. Might take couple years.

Wow! I just got my first tree yesterday, very informative video! What’s that plant behind your tree?!

Thanks Alex. I have Blueberry, Sky pencil, peonies behind my tree.

Thank you! I bought a house with a very overgrown Asian pear tree and part of it just broke. Ugh! I’m going to try to rescue it.

Yeah, that's what happens to long and skinny branches that can't hold up the fruits. Don't prune too much at one time. Do about a third per season to not shock it.

I'm living in MN ( zone 4 B ). I got some Asian pear trees. I watched a lot of clips about pruning . I'm confusing about that. What's different between summer pruning and winter pruning ? which one for more fruit and which one for shape

Hi Duc. Winter and summer pruning to me are both size control. Pruning is for better fruit quality and less disease comparing to let alone. Also better control and maintenance As far as more fruits, I think it's depends on your preference. Pruning will remove wood and fruiting wood included, but with the remaining fruiting wood the tree can spend more energy on them and fruits will be larger and more quality. Summer pruning is to control the tree to a smaller manageable size. Pears grow straight up and very tall and lengthy and eventually be out of reach if you have fruits. Branches will bend and will break if fruits too heavy. Pruning in general to keep the desired shape of the tree and at the same time developing thicker canes for future fruits. Summer pruning can open up the inside of the tree for air movement to avoid diseases that like moisture. Winter pruning is to remove dead wood, or any disease and reshape the form of the tree. Through the growing season the tree stay dorman and reserves all energy in the root for spring. If prune right before break dormancy, a lot of energy stored won't spend on extra leaves if prune instead will spend on what is left on the tree. When it flowers in the spring, then fruit, the tree will signal to care for the fruits (just like human and animals in my opinion) and hence large quantity fruits. I am super short so I like my pear to have open center form. It also slow down the vegetative growth and produce fruits. Pears will fruit on 2nd year woods so, every so often in years, as the branch grow too old, prune to a stub of 1-2" to renew new woods as older branch/tree won't fruit much anymore. I hope you're not too confused. It's a bit long.

Any diseases? I have 2asian pears and both got black spot or rust this year. I had to pluck off all the leaves. The leaves grew back but no fruit. I’m going to use some copper fungicide next year before the blooms as preventative.

Yes. Mine got hit with black spots and cedar rust. I plucked every single leave and fruit and sprayed with copper fungicide. This year my garden got hit pretty bad.

Thanks sharing! Can you tell me how to fertilizer tree before the leaves and flowers comes out? Because my tree have some insects ate the leaves and fruits. Thank you

I do very little work for them. I usually feed them like half a cup of Milorganite maybe 2-3 times a year during the spring and summer. I prune them twice a year, January and July. Keep my tree open so air can flow through, and short so I can easily manage. In the spring before the leaves pushed out or newsgroups come out, I spray with Copper Fungicide to keep the cedar rust down. Because the leaves air out easily, I have no issues with insects or anything else. Cedar rust is all I've experienced.

How many years in the ground? Have you had any fruits yet? Where are you in 7b, I'm also 7b just planted 2 young Asian pears last year training into espalier.

Hi @sherikream, I currently have 2 Asian Pears and 1 Kieffer pear in the ground. They are about 5 years old. I've had fruits over the past 2-3 years. They are great. I am in NC near Durham/Raleigh area. I love aspalier style. They will be so cool looking. I am thinking of doing 1 or two, but haven't decided where I'd do it yet.. Are you doing espalier because of space limited? It will require a lot of pruning to maintain. Where in zone 7b are you?

@ Fish Sauce Mama, yes, I only have a small narrow garden space in my yard so espalier would be the way to go. I have a Shin Li and a Korean Giant. The shin li is doing ok in terms of growth, the Korean giant only grew like an inch this year up till now. But it looks like it needs a lot of heat to push branch growth because it’s gotten much hotter the last 2 weeks and I’m seeing some new growth now. I’m in NYC.
