growing dwarf pears on a trellis

Has anyone else had any experience growing pears in their home plot, especially the dwarf varieties? I have nearly finishing digging up all the kikuyu lawn in my front garden (back breaking job that was!) and will be putting a trellis in on the weekend. I've been reading as much as I can on espaliering techniques but it all seems so complicated, and all the terminology used in the articles just compounds my fears.

Add shredded paper to compost. It aids water retention and saves on material being returned to landfill.
