Pear Masterclass – presentations and videos, 2016

2 August 2016 | Future Orchards® Pear Masterclass resource page | APAL

This resource page collects the presentations and videos from the 29 July 2016 Future Orchards® Pear Masterclass held in Tatura, Victoria. The event brought together European and Australian pear-production experience, with specialist input from Anton Jongerius and Marcel Veens.

The library includes material on European pear production, pear pruning and pear rootstocks, as well as practical videos showing click pruning and branch ripping. Together, the resources illustrate how canopy architecture, vigour control, rootstock choice and pruning technique can be combined to create simpler, more productive pear systems.

For growers, the page is a useful single access point to the 2016 Pear Masterclass set. It allows the presentation material to be viewed alongside practical demonstrations, helping translate orchard-system concepts into field techniques.
