  • A long video explaining principles and demonstrating practicalities of maintenance spur pruning of established espalier pears. Basically, you need to remove post-mature and overcrowded fruit spur systems. When necessary. And keep the espalier within bounds-do not let it spread, that's not the point of espaliers. Similar principles apply to spur pruning of apple trees.

    I really liked the mathematical explanation of why to thin so many fruit spurs. Makes it less painful.

    Because of your earlier videos I was able to reshape an overgrown apple of medium age. Unfortunately just as the fruit ripened last year the deer decided they were just too tempting and ate most. This year I will put up a strong temporary fence in late summer to prevent this. The best for me is to watch a video right before pruning so all your directions are fresh in my mind. I planted young fruit trees along the inside of my veg garden fencing and am attempting espalier growing on all of those. This mature espalier pear pruning demo won't be needed for years but it is wonderful to watch. You never get boring no matter how much you repeat the instruction. Thank you for taking the time and effort to make these videos.

    No sense of being 'bored' here. I thought that this was both 'insightful', and has provoked me to re-think my new espaliers' pruning! Profound thanks.

    Thank you so much for posting such informative pruning video! I have searched high and low for a clear and hands on pruning video. I have learned a lot and am comfortable now to do my winter/spring pruning!

    This is really usefull, thank you for posting. The books i have always show hand drawn symetrical trees with neat, equidistant branches, (exactly how trees do not grow in nature!). Seeing you prune an actual tree is very usefull indeed, I learned so much, thank you Stephen

    Quick tip on the wind noise that seems to be common in your videos (even though this one wasn't bad), if you cover over your mic intake on the digital camera with a blister size fabric BandAid (available at any drug store/pharmacy) it will cut out the wind noise and still be able to record your voice. Great video, thank you!
