Lucky,
Topworking was suggested to me, but the rogue pears were not in good fruit
tree management locations, most bordered my creek bottom, which is 100 ft
down and a quarter mile from the house and orchard. Also, I already get
far more pears than we can consume in a year from the five trees in the
orchard.

first Santa Rosa plum of the season, and the American Persimmon blossoms
are dropping.
