PEAR TREES LIVE LONG, PRUNE HEAVY
Why pear orchards need mulching
Pear trees (Pyrus communis) live 50–80 years on standard rootstocks. Annual pruning generates 15–80mm wood across the canopy. Block renovation produces 100–200mm structural cuts.
Dead wood harbours pear scab (Venturia pyrina), fire blight (Erwinia amylovora), and black spot. The disease load builds over decades unless residue is destroyed.

Heavy-duty equipment for heavy wood
The TGS and TGI handle structural cuts beyond TOK orchard shredder capacity. The TMH semi-forestry mulcher processes 200–300mm whole trunks at end of life.
Disease pressure across decades
Pear scab releases ascospores from overwintered leaves and dead wood in spring. Fire blight bacteria persist in cankered branches and pruning waste.
Mulching destroys the structure both pathogens need to overwinter. Spore loads drop. Less spray pressure across the long orchard life.

End-of-life block removal
Pear blocks eventually need replacement after 50+ years. Whole-tree removal at 200–300mm trunk diameter normally costs thousands per hectare in chainsaw, loader, truck.
The TMH grinds whole trees to ground residue in one pass. No cartage. No burning.
