| I want everyone on GardenWeb to do a little dance with me. I FINALLY have pears on my tree. I bought a Moonglow at Costco two years ago and planted it near the mature tree. The little thing bloomed this spring and a hive of bees decided to make a home on a dying green ash on the property. I have waited for the June drop, and this time they did not all drop off.
I am so happy. Thank you everyone for your advice. So, must I thin these beauties? |

| Congratulations. They don't look too dense to me. Looks like there are ample leaves per fruit and the pears don't look like they will be touching when mature. |

| I'm dancing! Great isn't it? Mrs. G |

| ltilton, I've been trying to get the tree my grandpa planted 60 years ago to fruit. It always fruited when I was a child, but somewhere along the way it's pollinator must have been removed. I've been working on it since 2009. I just want to encourage others the way I've been encouraged. It was such an ugly tree I thought it was hopeless. I'm so glad I stuck with it. Anyone have a guess as to what kind of pear it might be? |

| Congrats. It's the color of a Seckel, but if that's you pear it will become obvious by its small size and big flavor. |
