For those that have this pear, what are you experiencing for fruit size?
A few years ago, a young hybrid pear was a little too close to a switch grass burn and top killed. It sent up new sprouts about 18" high on the trunk , which I thought was above the graft, so I pruned to one leader and let it got for 3-4 years now. It's grown ok, and has quite a bit a fruit right now that is about nickel size. I know we have some season left but I expected a little bigger fruit size, even for this time of year. I've also notice that some of Morses grafts are very high, wondering now if maybe its just the rootstock I have growing.
