Silly Bradford Pear Tree
He's an ornamental, not supposed to bear fruit, 15 ft. tall and skinny
because he doesn't get sufficient light. So this year, there are 13 good-sized pears. Meanwhile, the 50-ft., bushy Bartlett pear tree I grew from seed in 1979, doesn't have many more pears, if any more, as far as I can tell, from ground level. Who can figure silly flora. |

Shortly after Hurricane Rita hit our area last year all of my fruit trees bloomed for the second time and then set fruit. None of it matured of course. The local MacDonald's has Bradford pears planted all around it for decoration and they all bloomed last fall and set fruit and then it all dropped. Made the owner mad with all that fruit on the ground, making a mess, so he had them all cut down. Flora and fauna act strangely when stressed. George |
