“without spraying we wouldn’t want anyway they don’t ripen without getting a little wacky inside.”

Really? That’s weird. Is it the climate where you are?

I had my first crop of pears last year. I didn’t realize I was supposed to pick them before they ripen. The insides were all mushy.

Pretty common here in New England. I think it is apple scab and these are very old, so pre-scab resistant trees. Had both tree sprayer and apple orchard guys tell me they’d have to be sprayed up to weekly to get a good crop.
