Mas fruit. Sounds like my kind of tree!

I am eagerly anticipating the arrival of an "Elegant' and a "Red Dawn". 
I finally found/freed up two proximate partially shaded site that I 
think will suit these trees.

Wish me luck! The growing conditions are getting so unpredictable here: 
bats flying around on Christmas eve, my first Swallowtail butterfly on 
March 8, and my Keiffer pear flowering now!
