It gets really depressing to view the photos from all of you that get enough heat units to grow crops like your beautiful fruit trees Red! I have a 25 year old Barlett Pear and it is one sick puppy and the fruit is unfit to eat when it does manage to set some fruit. We have a couple of Plums that do fairly well and our lone Cherrie tree that is loaded this year but the wild Band Tail Pigeons will get most of them.

The ones on the left are Viva Italia, a red paste and the ones on the right are Opalka Long red paste. In the back are Aunt Molly Ground Cherry's
