As I noted in the first part of this post it was the all those native plums hanging there to get ripe. They are almost there.
Yesterday I picked 75lbs of pears off of 2 trees. On one tree it was 57lbs of pears. This little tree is 8ft tall and this was it's 3rd year of bearing fruit.
Oh what to make...decisions...decisions. ;)
30lb will be used to make a 5gal batch of pear wine. The remaining will be made into pear butter, jam & preserves.
Last month Wally World had some trees clearanced out at the garden center. I picked up a couple of Chinquapin Oak about 12' tall. A couple of live oaks about the same size and 3 Myers Lemon trees.
These lemon trees are 3' tall and already had some green fruit on them. Once I replanted them with a little goat/chicken manure mixed in, they have shot mucho new leaves and bloomed again.
All 3 now probably have 15-20 little bitty lemons on them with more blooms coming on.
The best part is I paid $2/tree
