Pear tree help

Hi all,Please help a novice. What do I do with a two variety pear tree in a 12" pot,the tree is 6ft tall,grafted on a shortroot stock.It has two main upright branches, the varieties are conference & bonne louise d'avranches.As I have limited space would it be possible to cordon or espalier it,if so how?and if not can I keep it shortish say under 10ft. Any help with info on fruit trees gratefully received

 

Hi Arnie

As a cordon is usually a single stem you might be better with an espalier method

I had good success with a single variety as a fan shaped tree

have a look here
