Mowing, spraying for grass (which until now was the only "weed" in the plot). We have experienced drought the last 2 years so some patches have dried out leaving openings for weeds to get into the plot.

I have seen it in yards before as well. It isn't a shaded area, but is along a creek and stays damp.

I have this starting to take over large portions of a clover plot. Just curious what it is and if I should spray it now or wait until Spring to mess with it? Thanks. VV

Just broadcasting. No water source for a sprinkler.

I did buy it from Wal Mart. The "pears" are still on the tree and are still about the size of pea or little larger. I have never grafted before, but will research it over the winter and give it a shot this spring.

Unfortunately the turkeys and birds would have it all eaten by the time it rains.

Well, the rain has disappeared from the forecast, so I guess I will wait until next year.

Thanks for the thoughts guys. It will be a small area, so not much money invested. I will get some from the co op and spread it this weekend.

We are finally getting some rain here in SE Ohio. Is it too late to throw some white clover out in hopes it germinates enough to come back in the spring? I realize it won't do much this year, but I am hoping to get it established come spring of 2026. VV

So, is this a Callary Pear then? Prob should cut it down if so.

I purchased what were marked as Ayers Pear trees at a Wal Mart about 5 or so years ago. They have grown decently and have been fertilized once a year since planted. Oddly, one of the trees is producing these very tiny little "pears". I am assuming they won't get much larger since it is the...

I have been hitting it with heavy gly and it seems to kill it after a couple applications. On the negative side of that, it is also killing my clover, so I wil have to overseed it if it ever rains again.

What are your suggestions for upping oxygen and carbon? Clover is my go-to foodplot, so I am trying to make them the best I can. Thanks. VV

I have this in my clover plot. I have not dealth with this on this scale until this year. Cleth doesn't seem to touch it as it has been sprayed twice and no luck. Kills the other grasses, but this keeps on growing. Just curious what it is and what to spray to kill it? Thanks.

Care to share your reasonings behind that thought?
