I know right..I have a bunch of different kinds and a lot of them don't last till season, but Kiefer is one of the good later producing pears and also the wild pears hold well into season.How do you guys ever get fruit to last into season? My pears are just blooming now. Looks good!
I got 3 when they first shipped them. I told my wife that no one was buying them. I kept a check on them about every week and half. I told her that I don't think people really knew anything about them and I'd go back and get about a hundred dollars worth when they go down to 75%.They look pretty good for this late too. Our w mart didn't get any chestnut trees, but the fruit trees they had, they didn't take care of. They looked dead when they tried to sell them at 50 percent off.
I think you'll really like them when they get going. We've got a mostly dunstan orchard with a few Chinese and a henryi thrown in for good measure. We had male catkins on two year old dunstans this year and some are over 6' tall. If you plant any now be prepared to water them every week. We planted a few the last couple of weeks where I can water, but most will be in September.Now I'm trying to plan my orchard planting.
I have 8 planted on one end of my sawtooth oak orchard .
I'm thinking of either adding onto the other orchard or starting
Another with just these dunstan chestnut trees. The ones I just bought was 12 or 13 trees (can't remember ). Either way.....just these would make a good stand alone orchard.
Yep...the place I am going to plant them is to far for me to drive to water them so all of these will be held back till October for meI think you'll really like them when they get going.
