Weeping pear ornamental tree (pyrus salicifolia pendula) is a very elegant small tree with long sweeping willow-like branches. A good garden tree suitable for even very small gardens as it only grows up to 4 meters x 4 meters wide. It's easy to maintain, should it get untidy with branches dragging down onto the ground. Pruning can be done through winter when you will easily see any branches that seem tangled. Prune out all upward facing shoots.  Prune down to a bud that faces sideways as this will encourage a weeping growth in the spring.
