I just canned 25 quart pears
I waiting for garlic sales in store. Am I missing them? Cannot find.
Where did you get your fruit trees from?
I have a semi-dwarf Kieffer and I have no idea when to harvest them. There are always tons of fruit but hard as stones. Can anyone give me information on this variety?
I'm not a pear lover, but my opossums absolutely go nuts for them, so I buy whatever is cheapest for them. We did plant an Asian pear tree when we bought this place in 2015, and in just 3 short years it was covered in fruit. That first year we had a really good harvest (it's 3rd year bearing), but someone came onto our property and picked the whole tree clean of pears!!! Those pears sold at the farmer's market for like $3 or $4 EACH!
We did not get to enjoy ONE that year!
The next year they got some sort of blight and stopped developing when they were marble size.
Same the next year, and then our crab apples got the same blight, so I called the Extension office, sent photos and was told that the Cedar tree in our front yard had cedar-apple rust or some other related Gymnosporangium fungus.
How to combat it? Cut the tree, but if there are any other trees within I think they said a couple of miles, you cant grow pommes.
So, we cut that pear tree down. The one saving grace is the hummingbirds nest in the cedar tree, and we put that above our enjoying a pear in importance.
I have planted an Asian pear, last year I had so many that I canned and had to give many away to neighbors. This year nothing. Blossoms blew off in a storm. Plant is about 10 years old. Do you think it will produce again? I'm in zone 8. Thanks
Thanky for sharing 👍Pears 🍐 🍐🍐 are so delicious. I have some pear trees in my garden as well.
Don’t buy fruit trees or fruit plant from Lowe’s. 3 trees, figs, and berries over a couple years (8-10 years ago) not one of them were true to the tag and 2 apple trees turned out to be crabapples. My white Marseilles fig turned out to be a Chicago fig. I now buy from Starkbros and have been very happy with all the plants and trees I’ve bought.
