Heavy pruning = Heavy pruning

Yes thats not bad. Keep in mind the less narrow the crotch angles are on pears the more fruit they can hold and more resistance to storms they have. Pears grow naturally with narrow crotch angles which drives us crazy. Get rid of any crossing branches, those to close together or tbose growing inside the branches towards the trunk. When i intially prune a pear i do so like i do an apple or anything else when its young Tipping to make a bushy more productive fruit tree
