This is one of the ohxf 87, about five feet tall now
They really grew fast! Nice looking fence! The cows are not going to walk in your orchard and eat their fill!
No they are not, cows can do a lot of damage quickly depending on what you are growing.
So here is a branch of Bartlett that I put on this old pear tree back in the spring of '15. Do you suppose this could be a fruit spur
It looks like a fruit bud though it won’t likely produce this year.
Thanks Clark
Derby,
Once in awhile the first year they flower they produce fruit. Some spurs are definitely going to produce fruit such as this one I posted in another topic. Next year that Bartlett will spur up more and you should get a bunch of pears!
I saw that photo in that thread and noticed the difference in the two spurs that you no doubt picked out immediately. The Spurs on your tree while still short show some knobby growth while spur on my tree is much younger looking. Thanks for the details and photo, maybe next year it will bloom and the weather will cooperate.
These Shinko Asian pears are ready to be Harvested.

Pai Li AKA Beijing White Asian pears are getting close to harvest also.
Beautiful Tony!
Tony,
Have you picked the red blushing Bartlett yet?
Not just yet. They are still rock hard.
Tony
Are they changing color yet?
Here are some Bartlett Euro pear, Pai Li is the round one & Yali is the smaller pyriform one Asian pear for breakfast.

Those look great Tony!
Those look perfect. Am just waiting for Mark, to tell me when my Seckel and Flemish Beauty pears will be ready to pick! Those look so sweet!
Those look as good as any pears I’ve seen.
It is spurring up if not this year than the next I think you will get some pears.
