Branch ripping demonstration in pears

Marcel Veens (Horticultural Advisor) and Anton Jongerius (Fruitconsult) discuss and demonstrate why ripping out certain branches of pear trees is better than cutting them out.
This demonstration video was filmed at the Pear Masterclass, which is part of APAL's Future Orchards® program, on 29 July 2016.
This video was produced by APAL and funded by Horticulture Innovation Australia Ltd using the apple and pear industry levy funds from growers and funds from the Australian Government.

When I accidentally hit my young pear with the weed wacker it callous over nicely with zero regrowth in that area.
