Question:

I have got some branches on our pear tree where the buds are not opening - should I cut them back or just leave it?

Answer:

If the tree is the right size and shape for you then I'd leave it. However, you may want to read the RHS article below for information on how to prune your tree should you wish. http://www.rhs.org.uk/advice/profiles1101/fruit_tree.asp
