It is a great word. I lived in Lafayette - New Iberia, La. area for about 17 years. Langiappe is just one of those nice things happen when you don't expect it. It can be just a small gesture, like when you buy a book and get a book mark. Or it can be small and turn out to be big like when I went to a friends crawfish boil and just happened to meet my future wife.LOL

After posting I did another search and found this on one web site, "Pollinate with COURTHOUSE, FLORDAHOME, BALDWIN, PINEAPPLE or LE CONTE". Looks like I need another Pear tree

Some catch!!!

Fruit trees are hard to grow around here because it doesn’t get cold enough and there are just too many bugs and diseases that like fruit as much/more than we do.

Keiffer does well because it doesn’t need a polinator and as far as I can tell, nothing except hurricanes bother them in the least. Don’t need to be sprayed, don’t even seem to care if they’re ever pruned.

There used to be a lot of fruit trees in my town. Some of the older folks still remember, and there’s one pear tree left—across the street from the garden center. I’m guessing all the older varieties did better and they’ve gradually died out. The newer hybrids don’t fare well. Too sissified.
