Pears like to grow straight up in my opinion. These long swooping branches on my tree are from me using these shaping techniques for the past 6 years. I probably have made some mistakes according to the pros, but it's my tree and I'll cut how I wanna! Ha... so far it's working. You can look up how it "should" be done, then start experimenting.

im just happy ours sprouted lol
