Open Tatura
This high-density pear system is used in Europe. Early Tatura systems deve-
loped double leaders on short trunks, forming a Y shape perpendicular to the
crop rows. This design resulted in tall trees that stuck out into the alleys and
interfered with the movement of equipment and other orchard operations.
Newer Tatura designs use shorter trees, more vertical trunks, and rows more
closely spaced than did early designs.
