Main crop on my large tree is almost ready! I got a couple RdB and Wallingford Adriatic. They were delicious. White one has a honey taste to it. Not sure what to think of RdB, except it is too small to judge it, I needed a few more! and here are some of my other fruits: Grapes, pears and apples are in their first year, so mostly I just got a sample. They are all delicious. Grapes were rooted from Cuttings from BunchGrapes.com __________________ Grasa Seattle, WA

Wow! I only can imagine how your garden could look like if you had lived further south. __________________ wish list: Violeta, Calderona. USDA z 10a, SoCal

Beautiful, Grasa! I hope the good weather lasts for a good harvest. Interesting looking pear, what variety is it? __________________ Gary in CA 9A Seeking: Bebera Branca*, Colonel Littman's Cross

Gary, it is labeled Red Bartlet. I planted 7 pear trees in a 30 degree slant, about 20 inches apart in a row. I am training them to grow in the slant, however, I could not resist and allowed a few to fruit, so I would experiment them. Twentyth Century Asian Pear is a big winner here. We picked a couple and I am letting the last one to get super ripe on the tree. Next year they should be more productive. Ah, Igor, I got another truck delivery of the laurel leaf chips, and I am mulching heavily- everything. I am observing how the sun moves and what parts of my yard are the 'hotest'. I have an idea and am going to 'experiment with a few fig trees by the hedge next door'. I know the hedge will suck up any water or nutrients, but I have to try, until the day I can move out of here and bring my trees with me. __________________ Grasa Seattle, WA

Very nice. You got grapes from a cutting the first year? Thats very good. I thought they took 2-3 years to produce. Nice job. That pear looks good too. I planted 27 fruit trees this year (No figs) Hoping to get a taste of some of them next year and then year 3-5 they should really start to produce. __________________ Jeff in zone 5b Wish list St rita,Vista,Sal's G,De la Reina, preto, Sport and pops purple red from Bellaclare, Planera Malta Black, Navid Unk Dark Greek,

It was just a few clusters, since the plants don't have any shape yet, no trellis, one is leaning on a bamboo, the other tied to my porch. I am learning what they do, and now I have a better idea. I am trying to understand why low and high and head pruning and how to do. __________________ Grasa Seattle, WA
