First fruit set on 9 year pear

[quanglewangle]

When we moved in had the long neglected garden cleared with a tractor - an actual agricultural tractor.
Anong other things we planted some fruit trees.

The neighbours pointed and laughed.
We said "mild climate, good soil"
They said "sustained 40kt winds"

We lost most of them as soon as they cleared the height of the wall.

The bees must have developed turbo boost this year since we see to have we quite a few blossoms set.

Good luck.

My pear set hasn't been very good this year. I think the damp weather during flowering time might be to blame.

Good luck, QW. Wind is devastating.
