Any advice on how to care for a very old pear tree?

My dad has a 30+ year old fruit bearing pear tree which he has never properly taken care of (no spraying or pruning). It is gigantic, and it still bears fruit, mostly though at the top of the tree. He used to have several pear trees in his yard, however the last one died 2 years ago, and this is the only one left, which leads me to believe it is a self pollinating pear tree. What is the best way to prune this tree, and when? Should he spray the tree? Last, should he plant another pear tree in his yard? Thanks so much!Any advice on how to care for a very old pear tree?
Pruning is important, but best done in winter. Big pear trees aren't that useful, because they are so hard to pick. They also learn to grow instead of fruiting. It will last and the best way to prune is probably hard to decide. Not too many back growing branches and brought to a more sensible height. If you plant a new one, I suggest a small young tree for no more than 拢10 or $10. To prune this you want to take out the main stem once it has reached the height you want it to branch out from. Then you grow many trunks growing outwards from where you cut the stem going up.Any advice on how to care for a very old pear tree?
I had the same problem with a crab apple tree that was 40 years + that my parents never took care of it. I pruned it heavily because the branches were so long, that they were dragging on the ground. It doesn't put out any apples anymore because it suffers from scab and insect problems. I may have over done it with the pruning too. Prune about 1/3 off the pear tree and give it food (fertilizer for fruit trees), place fresh dirt and mulch around it and see how it goes. Remove any suckers too. If this doesn't work try planting a pear tree that is easy to maintain and resistant to disease. Good luck.
