Some gardeners mistakenly believe that this procedure only harms young and adult plants. Another incorrect position is the higher the tree, the more it gives a crop. In fact, too thick Krone prevents the fruit of sunlight, because of this, their taste deteriorates. And dried or sick branches left on the tree for the winter can break and damage healthy.

- Socialization slows down, so the juice will not flow through sections;
- If you prevent errors when cropping, next year, the pear will be fruit more active;
- In the fall, you can spend the trimming of slowly, the weather is unpredictable in the spring, and it provokes the beginning of the coilment.
