Pyrus salicifolia pendula
Hi
I've been lurking here a while and have finally plucked up courage to post! I have just planted a Pyrus salicifolia pendula. It has been pruned into a nice weeping shape but is only 1.5m tall. The lady at the garden centre said not to let it grow any taller as once it starts sending branches upwards it will loose its nice weeping shape - there were a few specimens like this at the GC, long arms sticking out at funny angles... I've planted the tree to screen off an area of the garden and ideally want it to reach at least 3m in height. What would your advice be? Can I train an upward looking branchlet to become a new leader or will it eventually grow taller without this extra help? Thanks flowergirl |

Pyrus salicifolia pendula
There is a fabulous specimen in Regent's Park that all mistake for a willow
until knowing better. Minute pears etc. It must be 40' high and is beside the lake beyond the rose garden. Best Wishes Brian "flowergirl" wrote in message om...
