Earlier this spring, I shared a photo I took of blossoms on my pear tree. So very pretty… but it never bore any fruit. Twenty years since I planted my pair of Minnesota-hardy Harbin Pear trees… never any fruit.
Until about a month ago… To my amazement, the tree was heavily-laden with the most beautiful pears. Small… barely 2 inches across and very firm.
Today, I picked up some that had fallen on the ground to see if I can encourage ripening by placing them in a brown paper bag.
Such a pretty blush…
