the tree is 5.5 ft tall there aren't many branches to bend. It may start growing next year but this year all it did was leaf out.

Overated- most info sources that describe it are quoting from the Long Island nursery that was the original source of it. However, my opinion is based on only one tree at one site where it didn't get up enough sugar while the Boscs, Bartletts and Seckels there are all nice and sweet season after season.

How tall is your tree? Can you bend the branches and get it to produce?

Anyone has this Atlantic Queen pear that I can have a scion wood to graft onto my pear tree? I can pay or exchange other fruit tree's scion woods.
