| What is the protocol for thinning 'Summercrip' pears?
'Summercrisp' is a small sugar or seckel type pear, maybe three or four inches long. I have a heavy set this year. Naturally I will pull off the corroded type fruitlets, but what is the ultimate goal? Do I thin to a couple ofinches apart? six inches apart? What? The pictures in the catalog make it look like they are unthinned. |

| Six inches if it's a light enough load- no closer, and further is good. Congratulations on your fine crop! |
