You can top a young pear tree if absolutely necessary (e.g., if it’s gotten too tall for its space), but it’s not great for the tree. Topping a mature pear tree can be very damaging, and it won’t encourage the tree to produce more fruit. If your pear tree is too tall, do a light crown-reduction pruning while the tree is dormant instead of lopping the whole top off.

Citrus fruits will naturally hybridize when grown close together. Plant them at least 20-30 feet apart to prevent the two species from doing so.

You can add sterilized marbles, this will use up some of the airspace left after racking.
