grainoftruth's Pear Tree - eventually!

Plant: European Pear (Pyrus communis) | 1 | Happy

I love to grow things for free. This is the fourth tree I’ve grown from a stone or pip. This one is a pear tree. I started it summer 2007. I don’t expect it to bare any fruit for a few years yet ;o) Usually seven. That’s how long it took the plum tree to produce plums.

    I always thought fruit trees that weren’t grafted onto special root stock didn’t do so well. But your plum tree is healthy and bears fruit? That’s pretty cool to have grown a tree from a seed!
