Went out in the garden and saw that our Pyrus pyrifolia was more than a little crowded. Wikipedia told me this pear tree’s fruit, native to East Asia, also goes by the name Japanese pear, Chinese pear, Korean pear, Taiwanese pear, (and apple pear, zodiac pear, three-halves pear, papple, naspati and sand pear). Maybe I can call ours Maryland pears? Anyway, with this season’s heat tying the record for hottest summer my wife and I kinda left our trees alone. Ordinarily we would have culled some of the pears early on. Removing some of the fruit let’s the remaining pears grow bigger. I tasted one and though not big it was very sweet. I guess harvesting is in order! Happy Weekend everyone!
