My Williams Bon Chrétien pear tree is in full flower, bees are flocking to the blossom and it looks a real treat. Last year my young ‘Williams’ suffered a bit from the heat, the fruit set but didn’t mature properly so I removed the fruit to give the tree a chance to recover.
Hopefully its root system can cope better this year, I’m ever hopeful to be picking pears this year.
Fingers crossed as there’s nothing better than eating freshly picked fruit such as a juicy pear! Flighty xx
What a beautiful photo. Spring blossom is always lovely, but when you know it will/should lead to a lovely edible crop…
I love the sunlight on the blossom in your pic, Karen. Lovely image! We’ve had a couple of very fresh, blustery days here in London and I’m expecting to find my blossom has vanished when I garden tomorrow. Hope your pear tree survives and flourishes – we’ll have to compare notes! Is yours in its 2nd or 3rd year? Caro xx
It’s been blustery here too. I bought the tree as a two year old, so it’s roughly three years old now. I probably should have stopped it from fruiting when I got it.
