Due to late repeated freezes i expected no pears at all but thought it worth noting i did get many ayers beside my pond i would assume due to a condition created by the water. Today october 3rd i picked a drippin honey and harrow sweet. Anyone experience unusual similar weather in recent years?

My small multi-grafted Asian pear set a few flowers 2 months apart this spring / summer.
Just went outside and I have another bloom now.
Dry heat long enough then some rain gives it a bit of a false spring.

very long summer, lots of heat and drought last year and my summer pears looked picture perfect but did not ripen well, fall and winter did not ripen at all.
This year a very wet and cool summer with a warmer fall and there is many bad looking fruits but half are very large and ripening well now. Summer pears were ok to good, fall pears are starting to ripen now. winter pears still unkown.
