Fruit Trees

We are trying to increase the amount of fruit we grow. We already had a decent sized pear tree on our land, but it never did much since it was overshadowed by a pecan tree. Since the pecan tree was not a good producer and was where my new greenhouse will be, DH cut it down. Now the pear tree can get more sun, and hopefully we can get more pears.

Earlier this year I shared a picture of our peach/plum tree. It was loaded with plums that as usual blew off with the first spring storm. We do have peaches still. They are a bit buggy as I am still searching for an organic way to keep the bugs off. For this year we will eat around the spots.

Lastly is our smallest pair of trees. Pictured below are two kumquat trees. I started them from seeds. We have a long time to wait before we are rewarded with kumquats.
