Did you ever plant your nashi pear tree? Our two are doing well. I had
the impression from sellers that they were difficult to grow. Next
year maybe the flowers will be pollinated, before gale blows the
flowers off the trees.

Yes. It's been planted near the Belles de Jersey pear trees but it had
very little blossom. As it's only a young tree, we didn't expect much
but it will be nice if we get even one pear off it for Ray to try!

One was covered in blossom that a gale blew away and the other had no
blossom.

You've reminded me to go up the field tomorrow and take a look for baby pears!
