Looks like there's some fruit set on the Harcot apricot, Brooks plum, and Comice pear. Not shown was the Bosc pear that has some too.

The Comice pear has open blooms and the Spitzenburg apple tree that's on it's own roots is showing some pink.

Visited #DrummondCastle again this weekend, gardens looking glorious - shame about the rain.
Was pleased to see they’ve updated the brochure map to list the heritage #AppleTree varieties - very few have legible labels on the trees. There are two sets, mostly older trees against the walled garden wall, and mostly new plantings free standing lower down the slope.
They need to do their small #PearTree collection next..
#Peartree update: Every branch looks like picture one, and there are approximately a whole lot of branches leading to my harvest weight prediction of A Metric Fuckton of pears.

De bloesem van de Gieser Wildeman stoofpeer in de tuin is op haar mooist. De bladeren zijn wel erg gekruld maar dat is normaal. Ik dacht vroeger dat het een Duitse peer was maar nee, het ras is gekweekt in 1850 door meneer Wildeman uit Gorinchem.
Spring is here.
Some winter colour outside the church in Peartree, Southampton on Friday. I could almost dare to think of spring. #walk #walking #Peartree #Southampton

In what has now become an annual tradition, today I was up a pear tree in an orange T Shirt (other T Shirts are available…)

I do like watching squirrel acrobatics in the sycamore and lyme trees at the bottom of the garden, but now they've raided both the pear trees again so another years crop gone. One tree has been completely stripped and another with about 10 pears left. 🙁
I've painted a band of cribbox (grease with chilli) around the tree trunk which worked for a while but they've started ignoring it. Anyone have any other ideas to keep them off my pears?
