I have a client that planted a row of Pyrus Calleryana Chanticleer Ornamental Pear trees last winter along their back fence line.

I was asked this week if I could prune them at the appropriate time so that they can eventually form a hedge.

At the moment they are growing madly and are about 2 metres high (I understand they can grow to 10 metres plus) and are spaced at about 1.5 metre intervals.

Can anyone provide some advice as to how to care for these trees and get the result the client wants, that's assuming it's achievable?

Cheers
