My orchard will forever be a learning experience. Last Winter I pruned the pear trees probably a little too much, and in an incorrect fashion. My trees have forgiven me so I'm moving on. The Pear tree branches tend to grow straight up so I'm training them to grow more outward. I'm experimenting with tying weights to the branches. I hear this is called "festooning". Stick with me to see how this method works out.
