I was thinking that they might possibly be used anytime a person wanted apple blossoms. The tree is on public property, so I have to pick pears furiously. Still, I could never get them all, even picking 250 lbs. I only wish I had fruit trees here.<br /><br />Linda, Congratulations on having both tree and picker. Sad would work. However, those people may be wishing for apples. TRADE? The only reason I weighed them was curiosity.<br /><br />GFU, I will trade you pears for your mangos. The South is hot and humid as a rainforest, but no tropical fruit grows in this part of the South. <br /><br />You all know I love, love, LOVE comments.Thanks.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14991571309786149363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3321084510373631678.post-83467050345233404582011-03-14T08:40:59.255-05:002011-03-14T08:40:59.255-05:00Those flowers are so pretty.

Good thing we like apples! I never weigh my produce but we probably got at least 500 apples if not more. <br />I'd love a pear tree! I know a few folks who have them. Maybe if I look sad enogh thy will share?LindaMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03624659670781181099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3321084510373631678.post-7052065294761830592011-03-14T05:43:47.426-05:002011-03-14T05:43:47.426-05:00I never knew what a pear tree flowers looked like;...I never knew what a pear tree flowers looked like; however, we have 2 pear trees we planted last year. I cant wait to see those beautiful flowers.<br /><br />We have: 2 pear trees, 1 apricot tree and 1 dwaft plum. All trees were purchased in June last year at 75% off. I can tell the pear trees have gotten a foot taller since we planted them. I'm not sure when we will have fruit on each of the trees.<br /><br />That being said, we do NOT have a fruit picker. However, I'm sure hubby can make one for me if I wanted one. Right now, I am just waiting to get fruit, pick some, and see how it goes.<br /><br />Is this pear tree on your property?<br />Oh, how I dream of 250 lbs of pears! :-) An apricots...and plums. I told hubby that I would like a couple of apple trees this year when they are on clearance.Simply Bonkers!https://www.blogger.com/profile/16852554568592885521noreply@blogger.com
