The tree is on my homestead, where I live. It’s well away from the house, though. (1.4 acres)
The reason I asked is that when I was a boy, in the 40,s amd 50’s I roamed around the country side hunting and fishing, and most old homesteads had pear trees long after the houses had fallen down, or burned down. The remains of chimneys was always a good sign that a pear tree was around. Other fruit trees didn’t seem to have the staying power to survive. The fruit that fell to the ground in the fall would be very sweet, and I was always eager to find it. So were the birds and animals.
