@SoCalGardenNut
I expect the Green Thumb nursery in your area to have inventory, both 5 & 12 gallon.

Thanks @Richard, when I went down there for the first time in March, and they did have a lot of fruit trees.

I ordered one, it’s coming in Jan. Do the leaves fall off eventually. The reason I ask is some of my low chill apple trees stay the same over winter.

@Richard

Do the pears always ripen in July in California? Those ossoms will be open in 2-3 weeks.

Or sooner!

But this is just the first round of blossoms that occurs during January when we get warmer (60°F’s) daytime temperatures for the better part of a week. We’ll have more blooms later in a few months. The fruits will all ripen within a month of each other after the summer solstice.
