Tips on pruning a mature pear tree

Garden completely out of control - cutting back frantically (including trees - and at borders to neighbours - some comments already)

Harvested Cherries from larger Cherry tree, Raspberries, wild strawberries and Red Currants.

Some pears on tree - still small and hard.
Pink Roses beside pond in bloom.

Trimming back some hedges where things look overgrown - which is most of the garden!

Planted on 2. Nov at front of house
Tulips frühlingstraum april…may
Narzissen carlton march…april
Crocuses grossblütige krokusse … march

Starting page to keep track of things in the garden and note things we learn as we go along. Motivation is to build a calendar of when the different plants bear fruit / blossom and document what we learn about cutting/trimming/taking care of plants.
