What does everyone use bait wise? I started using imitation vanilla this year with just cat food. Seems to work well so far!

Usually early to mid May here! I figured we'd be around the same "wake up" time!

I have native persimmons all over my place. They usually drop the whole month of October with some lingering into the beginning of November. I've planted Deer Magnet, Full Draw and Morris Burton from BH hoping to get a later drop time. Trees have done well, just havent been in the ground long...

Definitely a possibility. I'd say my tallest is close to 15 feet now. My Dixie Delight pear from WG still has green leaves hanging as of this past weekend! 😂

Good to know! I've got 4 myself that were planted 2 years ago. Going to say my drop time will be a month or so earlier than yours. How long did it take for yours to produce a good crop?

What's your drop time up north for the GC and Seckle?

They actually quit selling them once they figured out the fruit was not the size of the mother tree. Either way it is invasive and I'm not sure why they were selling them in the first place. Pretty sure all of their trees are seedlings and not grafted.

I've also planted some of NN's wild deer pears and they look just like pears 3-6. Such a bummer! I plan to graft the majority of mine.

Bur?

Yes they do! I feel guilty snacking on a few when I walk by it. Just can't help myself!

Quit rubbing it in, Native! 😂

Thats what it looks like to me. I would graft it not cut it down!

Good to hear! Yea, from what I've read it is a snacker pear size wise. Thought it would be a great addition for my family!

Good to know! I ordered a korean/olympic this year. Has anyone tried a Seckel? Was wondering how they tasted too.

Thats interesting. I would've thought mine would wake up earlier being in the deep south.
