Habitat Management Question

[mlsthmpsn]

Not sure if you ever got any answers on the fruiting issues for your Pears....but another thing that could be the issue, is that they are perhaps all Male trees, in which case they will never produce.

Or, on the flip side, there are no male fruit trees close by to pollinate your trees; which also results in no fruit being developed.

Cut em down and make bows out of them.  Maybe plant new?

The landowner beat me to it. He bulldozed all the ridges and took them out!

Trim them to where you could throw a cat through them and not hit a limb.  First time I did this I'd thought I had gone too far-- until the trees produced like never before.  Just finished some major -- ie chainsaw pruning on a couple on my new property.  Before anyone panics I said " could" throw a cat through--- this is in no way an admission of actually flinging a feline...
