Fruit Tree Advice

Hey everyone!

I've been doing a lot of raised bed gardening for the last few years, and just moved to a new home that has a Bartlett Pear and Honeycrisp Apple tree in the backyard. Both these trees had started to bear fruit last year. Now I've never had any experience with fruit trees and I'm looking for advice as to how to best care for these trees.

I have experience growing raspberries, a variety of vegetables and decorative flowers, so I'm not unaccustomed to having a type of schedule to pruning and trimming of plants. I've also been told I need to or should spray these trees in the spring?

Any and all advice for proper care would be great!
