Poor Old Pear tree ......

Or is it ?....for years we had a craggy old pear tree that at best had half a dozen pears on it...then 2 years ago it ended up with no pears and four leaves and a few large but very brittle branches that were threatening the GH...So sadly it was time to go.....half way through cutting it down i couldn't bare to part with it so thought it was a good idea to leave what was left and use it to hang the bird feeders off....ey look at the old fella now....i know he's not exactly 'tree' shaped but he looks good to me

 

Wow,saved by the skin of it's teeth!! Think it's saying . Are they Conference - my favourite Loli,

Nothing like the threat of extreme violence to encourage productivity!

 

That's brilliant, loli You've got a lot of fruits on there; mine has barely any this year.

 

Wow, you where lucky with this

 

More sort of Pear Shaped

 

Ha, you were very very lucky indeed!
Personally, I really do not like pears but I still not what a good pear tree looks like when I see one! Even if it's not really a tree...
