Replacing a Pear Tree

Posted on May 9, 2015 by Jean

One of Andy’s pear trees was killed by fire blight:

So he took it out.

And replaced it with a new one that is supposed to be fire-blight resistant.

As usual, there are all sorts of things that can kill plants up there. Wish it luck!

    Good luck little tree.
    I have a lot of tree stories.
    Including the Weeping Willow that I planted when I first moved in and it grew more than 2 stories tall and then started to die. A HUGE limb fell on my house so I had the whole thing cut down.
    Then there’s the Apple tree that I trimmed
    and the Plum tree that I had to wrap in chicken wire to save it from the deer…
    and yet, I yearn to go plant some more.

      All of our trees need various barriers to protect them from the animals. I admire Andy’s perseverance — and yours. 🙂
