How to get rid of the tops on pear
In a pear tree may arise due to various factors tops (shoots vertical). For example, after severe pruning of the tree promorzla, abundant nitrogen fertilizer over lands humidity. The latter is necessary to reduce feeding, considering the current state of the fruit of the tree, and close the soil around the stem with turf, so the grass will take away excess moisture.
What to do?
Gyroscopes can be, and should be removed! That's just a mistake to attempt to get rid of them in one fell swoop, this procedure should be spread out over several years. These powerful, vertical sprouts can not be cut completely (ring) as this is what will stimulate the formation and growth of new shoots.
There are options!
If you need additional skeletal branches on a tree, just a part of the tops shortened to 1/3 part and give shoots folding the horizontal position. Volchok need to tie up to the other branch, which is suitable as a support or make a spacer. Always make sure that the rail crashes into tree bark.
I advise you to read:
Plants that can not be categorically spud.
Each year, collecting 800 kg. potatoes with hundreds - a family secret
Rotting pears and apples on a tree - control methods (moniliosis).
Or as an option to make the shoots bear fruit. Cut their transfer into the main branch, which side (kidney) and grows it out, leaving a few kidney (2 to 4).
duration of procedures
Any operations to be carried out with the tops should be extended from 2 to 3 seasons. And if on time, in the late spring and early summer, pinch unnecessary neodrevesnevshie, thickening shoots, if not you can avoid tops.
