How to Properly Prune a Just-Planted Pear Tree? See Several Different Examples - PART 3 of 4

[@GerryMantha]

I can't understand why these videos haven't had more views. I've pruned thousands of apple and pear trees of all ages in commercial orchards in Annapolis Valley, Nova Scotia, and this guy not only does it right, but explains the reasoning behind it in a way that anyone can understand. This is an outstanding video series.

Thanks for the kind words. Not sure why this particular video doesn't have more views. Below are a couple of pruning videos by Orin (that have combined views of 1.2million), winter and summer. Probably covers what you already know.

Orin is outstanding. Communicates each thought and subsequent cut....always keeping end game in place

Fantastic information, this was very informative. Thankyou very much

[@clmvdv]

Can you also notch in spring, early summer (june) or even mid summer (july)?

[@Sam-tg4ii]

1:40 couldn't you have used spacers to makethose branches more outward going instead of head-cutting them?

[@ucscagroecology]

Good question! Try watching this video and I think it will answer your question about why you make heading cuts and how the tree responds. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ppCQl2lnZdd5e7c

Glad it was helpful!

[@MrFungi2012]

Very informative and easy to digest. Would the notching be effective on young peach trees and or young Persimmon as well? Thank you sir.

[@ucscagroecology]

Yer welcome! Yes, you can notch just about any tree to stimulate the growth of new branches. Below is a link to several dozen more fruit tree care videos. Scroll down to the section called: “Getting Started with Fruit Trees Organically”: agroecology.ucsc.edu/resources/instructional-videos.html

@@ucscagroecology Thank you Mr.Martin. I will try the notching on my peach and persimmon. I may also try it on my pawpaws as well. We really enjoy your informative videos and expertise. -Steve in WV
