Fruits of August



The 'Celeste' Fig is loaded with fruit
The birds are having a feast
They even leave some for us too!
The Asian Pear 'Shinko'
is also weighed down with fruit. This is it's 4th growing season
My son Thomas came one spring and dug large holes for the fall pear tree planting. I may get an orchard yet
I did not order dwarf rootstock
so I am trying to summer prune to keep the fruit within reach
The other 'Olympic' Asian Pear has some fruit this year too.
The Seckle Pear has 2 small pears on it & fire blight 
 'Potomac' a European type has not flowered yet 
and the deer keep eating the leaves. Maybe next year.
