Sand pear system includes sand pear varieties native to China and sand pear varieties introduced from Japan. Tree crown is generally relatively short, tree posture is not very open, dryness in strong or weak, Japanese pear varieties dryness is obviously weaker.

Japanese pear varieties, young trees grow vigorously, adult tree growth force medium or weak, economic life is shorter. Sprouting rate is high, but most varieties of low branching power, crown branches are more sparse, short branches developed, easy to convert to fruiting branches, with low-grade secondary branch results.

Native to China's sand pear system of varieties, most of the fruit platform branches occur less, generally each fruit platform can only draw 1 fruit platform branch, short fruit branch branching force is weak, not easy to form a group of short fruit branching more branches.

Most varieties of pear system introduced from Japan, most of the fruiting platform branches occurring by short fruit branches for 2, a few for 1, and short and robust. Therefore, the short fruiting branch is easy to form a short fruiting branch group with more branches.

Young tree fruiting age is early, some Japanese pear varieties, often planted 2 years after the fruit.

Sand pear system varieties, in order to use the natural shape of multiple main branches is more suitable. Currently in the production of more application of the main stem sparse layer shape.

Sand pear system varieties, low branching force, so, long branch is very little. Young tree shaping, selecting branches is more difficult. Therefore, the requirements of the tree shape should not be too strict, according to the principle of shape with the tree, flexible.

Sand pear system varieties, young trees upright, but the main branch angle and should not open too large, in order to prevent the back of futile growth.

Sand pear system young tree pruning, it is appropriate to less thinning, more stay branches, long stay branches. Easy to form short fruit branch groups of varieties, after the fruiting season, mainly on short fruit branch groups for detailed pruning. It is not easy to form short-fruiting branch groups of varieties, can be scaled pruning of large and medium-sized branches as well as the transformation into medium and long fruiting branches of the fruit platform branches, moderate short cut to maintain the tree.

Native to China's sand pear system of varieties, the renewal of the backbone branches of the ability to be strong, on some of the aging or the back of the bald backbone branches, can be used to reduce the pruning or drop head and other methods to maintain and renew the crown. Japanese pear varieties, most of which are not resistant to renewal, although the back of the trunk branches are prone to develop long branches, but should still be utilized as much as possible to the original trunk branch results.
