Don't be it's just a passion I have now and it's a lot of work and I do it by myself. I have many more varieties but I think that's enough for now

From G11 to b118. All over the board. The dwarfs produce much faster. They are from 7 to 2 years old

Yesterday i was checking some of the trees by my back field and I jumped a fawn laying right by it. The trees by my house are not being bothered too much, but there is action around the trees that are further back.

There is less deer sign on my place at present except near the alfalfa field. I am surrounded by corn, beans, and fields of sweet corn. May of the deer are in the corn fields imo.

Yes many of my trees are being bent and a few already have broken limbs

There is nothing like tree ripened pears, especially for those of us who can not grow them!
