Yeah I think they need another year or two to develop some muscle tone and put on some weight….😳

Hey just started a new job so I’ve been busy but didn’t do all that much this summer on the plots besides adding some brassicas, clover and WR, mowing and doing some picking of fruit! (My 3 year old loves the pears.) we have had a not so great drought for the past 2 months, but I took a pic of...

Just email Terry and ask he’s pretty cool and easy to deal with..might take him a little to get back to you

Already added another Death Wish and a feather Up to my cart..just haven’t pulled the trigger yet

Now you’re gonna make me order another tree…

Pretty sure they’re the same.. See this thread: https://habitat-talk.com/threads/olympic-korean-giant-pear.14938/

adding Korean Giant to my list..I know I know there are too many pears on this little tree (planted 2023) and I picked a couple before they were totally ripe, but wow are they sweet!

Would have to put Blue Hill’s Harvest Pear on this list..I planted this tree in the spring of 2023…it’s now about 12’ tall and has several dozen pears on it..my son and I shared one the other day and it was super sweet and better than anything I’ve ever had from the store!

Bought a few bags of WR at a local Amish store (have bought from there before with good results). A friend that I help with habitat stuff did the same and we broadcast it into some nuked fields and some fields that already had clover in them. It’s been a week and a half..with very little...

Definitely graft them. Just watch some YouTube videos on how (if I can do it it’s not that hard haha). Got one In my front yard that has 5 pear varieties on it. Will have a dozen next year.

I did the same thing..only got 4 total (1 was one of the new pricy ones)..also but a peach and a cherry for my front yard for people to eat..I’ll probably add more later if I can find or make some room for them…

This is an Interesting thread for me I have a chestnut on M7 that I planted 4 years ago. It has never had a crab make it. I even grafted a Clark’s crab from 39th parallel onto it and that is thriving. The tree is probably 12’ tall with good limbs but still waiting on that fruit!

Welp there goes all my money…

I need to do some of that next summer. HAD a little 2 year old peach with about 30 peaches in it..the one morning there were none..have also seen squirrels eating pears that are months from being ripe right out of the tree…

Took my little guy and a few cousins to my great uncle’s pond today. Couple casts with a whopper plopper on my little guy’s 2’ rod and there was a big splash. He hauled back and fought what I thought was just a real big bass to the bank. Turns out it was 2 bass on the same lure on the same cast...
