Thanks for this, my wife found your video - and we happen to rent a house with a single healthy Nashi tree in front. Since I do rent, it's my responsibility to care for the vegetation, and it's a challenge when you have no gardening background to suddenly rent and have to be some sort of horticulturalist. The fruits are extraordinary and since we just collected the last fruits, your video has been very instructional as to what to do ready for next season. Clear and concisely delivered, just what laymen like me need to be able to get things done. Thanks.
Thank you so much for this video. It is so easy to understand and I'm very keen to get out and trim my nashi tree. I wondered, do/can you use the cuttings to strike, and would they be good fruiting trees if they did strike? Thanks again :)
Very helpful video to watch before I start pruning my asian pear. I was wondering what brand of pruners you are using? I need some ratcheting pruners because of the arthritis in my hands.
Linda, ironically I just heard about pruners that ratchet like a socket wrench. And click step like a car jack. In a recent video from an arborist class in Australia. And here they are in the video! When using regular old pruners , It's that hard snap or jolt at the end that can hurt one's hand. Which this invention prevents. I don't think these type of pruners are too recent an invention, hope I can find them sold in the USA. It's so cool, cuz I'm an arborist, and a tool collector - inventor. And had not known anything about this tool till now.
dan sole I glad you mentioned the clarity of this video. The audio narration is exceptional , the contrast is top notch or is it top notch because of the depth of field of the camera lens . The contrast of the grey branches against the green grass . One handed video photography is very effective in this video . Is it the photographer, the camera or sheer luck ? Great demonstration whatever the reason
thanks for the video. I have 2 nashi pear I have grown from root cutting last year. they are almost 1 meter tall and very healthy.,when should I do my first prune as its mid winter here in New zealand
Thank you so much. This is very helpful. I planted a Nashi for my first-born and like to give it the best development. How old is the tree that you prune in this video? Again, thank you so much! Greetings from Germany
was this tree topped at knee height cos the crown is pretty low to the ground? i am thinking of cutting my nashis at knee height. we don't have a lot of room on our property.
hello! it is currently winter here in australia (august is the last month). I own a nashi pear, and have never pruned it. How do you distinguish betweeen vegetative and fruiting growth? is the vegetative growth more elongate and greener in colouration?
thanks for your help! i wish i stumbled across this earlier because my tree is soo tall now, and most of the height was from vertical vegetative growth. so i had to trim a considerable amount off it. thanks again!
Many of the limbs you are pruning to encourage fruiting buds are very small (thin). 1. Won't they break with the weight of fruit? 2. I had an Asian pear and most of its branches seemed to grow in a "drooping" manner (similar to a weeping tree). The branches also seemed to not grow very thick. This made them very susceptible to breaking. Is there a way to make them grow stronger branches? Thank you.
These drooping branches should turn into fruiting branches when reduced in length. They look look flimsy but are quite strong and will carry fruit weight. Thinning down fruits will reduce possibility of breaking. Thanks for your comment and watching.
You seemed to be less concerned about training the main branches of this pear tree than you are for the apple trees. Is there a reason for this? By the way, where are you located?
We have Pears and Nashi Pears growing in Vase, Open Vase and Trained Laterally in our orchard. We have not noticed significant variation in productions on any of these methods. Hence we cannot commend on any of these growing methods yet for Pears or Nashi. We rather be sure of what we are saying than say the wrong thing. Everything you see on our channel are real life experiences, we walk and live it everyday. Many thanks for watching.
this is what not to do! to get better yeilds and reduce height that needs to be done in summer after fruiting. This would mean less vigour and encourage fruiting spurs. pruning in winter is the 3 d's and shape nothing more otherwise you are encouraging excess growth and major issue with water spouts.
Brother I'm from India... don't mind but your pruning technique is too bad... And based on single principle which is not much effective...I have a same size pear tree which gives me 78 kg fruits .... approximately .. and growth of tree is batter than your tree...my suggestion is you should change your pruning technique ...
Thank you. This is the best video on pruning Nashi pears I've found so far. I have to do mine again.
You're from Singapore or Malaisia ?

You have by far the best fruit tree pruning tutorials on RUclips, thanks for the high quality educational content.
Wow this was very helpful thank you! Im very new to having a nashi pear tree so was unsure of how to care for it, thanks!
Great video. What is the idea behind pruning to encourage fruiting buds - what do you cut and why? Anyone? Thanks
Are you growing wood for firewood?

Very clear and useful information, thank you
You are welcome and thanks for dropping by.

Mid to late Winter is a good time to prune. Thanks for watching.
Can I ask what's the rootstock of this Nashi pear tree?
Thanks!
Thank you so much. This is very helpful. I planted a Nashi for my first-born and like to give it the best development. How old is the tree that you prune in this video? Again, thank you so much! Greetings from Germany
Hi Christian, the tree was about 4-5 years old. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the information. I am just wondering where to buy the netting like yours?
Try looking for it in Google under Bird Netting....

Hi, yes those vegetative growth are greener and easier to bend. Thanks for watching.

I'm not an expert but I found that if the tree does not get at least 6 hours of full sun, the branches grow long and spindly reaching for the sun.

Your tree will look like broom in spring-summer.

In India we use chainsaw
But Indians are not the smartests.

Can you add link to your pruning method - thanks.
@@deltatherapeutics9870 he uses chain saw
it's not a pear tree, it's a Nashi.
