| Hi everyone!
Tree was planted this year around March.It basically just grew straight up. I am not sure if I prune, pin branches down or just leave it alone until next year. If anyone could offer advice I would appreciate it greatly. Oh the rootstock is OHxF333.

| I just let it be. The leader will send out lateral branches next year. Asian pear tend to grow straight up. |

| Puggylover, Start bending down new growth to widen angles so you get better sun exposure. Nice looking plants. Make sure they're well watered. Noogy |

| Nice tree, here is something I found about planting a bare root tree: Before planting we very strongly suggest that you prune your bareroot plant. all branches should be pruned back to a lateral bud, removing the terminal bud causes the plant to foliate more quickly across the entire branch, not just the terminal end. prune for structure |

| I like the trees. I also planted two in March, Hosui and Shenko(?). Mine look like yours and have grown straight up. This winter I only pruned a lateral that was too low on the trunk. I intend to prune in later years just as I would an english pear. |
