Tiny white flowers that grow in groups. No leaves as of yet.
Transplanted wild tree from next to my house to the middle of my yard. Probably full sunlight, lots of water.
Granny told me it was an apple tree so I saved it and moved it into the middle of our yard. Not so sure now. Now the tree looks like this.
The neighbor has a pear tree, but I'm not sure it's the same kind. I also have never seen it bear fruit and it doesn't seem to attract bees/butterflies. The only bees at our house seem to be wood bees living in the roof of the porch. Is there any way to artificially pollinate it in order to find out what kind of tree it is?
Sorry - Let me rephrase my confusing above statement... The blooms will need to be pollinated by bees/butterflies, others pear tress in the area, and some species can self pollinate. Depending on how many flowers are pollinated determines how much fruit your tree will produce...
If it has blooms it will produce fruit. Depending on how many flowers stay determines how much fruit you will get from the tree.
are there any other pear tree around it ? the chance of it bear fruit might be higher if there are any other pear tree around.
So how long does a pear tree have to go before it produces pears? It's been planted for a little over 5 years, I think.
