Blossom on pear tree, it's July?

[chillithyme]

Our very old pear tree with pears on it is now also in blossom again.
I've never seen this before, anybody else seen this or heard of it?
Is it the weather or is the tree stressed and on its way out in its elderly years?

My magnolia is in about 1/5 flower too!

Yes, stress of some kind - most likely the drought. Whether the tree is on its way out is unknowable.

sorry for the late reply

the magnolia too, maybe the trees think that we are in a hot country and repeat flower

hope it's just from being hot and the lack of rain, I do love my old pear tree.

My Cox bloomed the other week, despite the fact it has apples on it already.

Must be a cox pear and magnolia thing this year, maybe others too with the warm weather. Il just have to give my tree a hug for good measure tomorrow

Look at it this way - the bees got a little bit extra nectar in the heat of summer.
