How long does it take for Gourmet and Bosc to product fruit? I planted 3
pear trees in September 2003 and the first summer the Bosc was loaded with
little pears. Something cleaned them off in one day. Could it have been
crows? A Duchess was planted with the two above but never really grew right.
It finally died this summer and I replaced it with a plum tree. Could I
expect them to produce fruit in their 5th year?
