Sweet, crisp, and juicy! Drippin’ Honey is the king of Asian pears at my farm! Was losing a large number of the pears to rot from the rain and saw Japanese Beetle numbers starting to increase as the smell of fruit sugar was in the air today. Ate about 20 pears and I gave myself a belly ache. Trying to ripen them up any more on the tree would not have worked out. Some animals or insects could not have resisted. Always feels good to have the harvest in the buckets! Biggest harvest I have had of these pears in spite of a bad case of blossom blast this spring Boron deficiency / Blossom Blast?. Three full buckets left after I’ve eaten my fill of them the last two days.
