Mine often blooms in mid to late summer, those fruit never drop. Not trying to pick a fight, just what I seeBartlett pear. A lot of the fruit never dropped, but mummified on the tree instead.
We need an orchard thread, even if its for up and comers.I haven't seen most my trees since summer, but in my bottom orchard that we walked thru on Nov 17 I could see that Droptine were holding and so were Goldrush.
