Watering Questions have apple & plum trees, temperatures in the 90’s to 100+. I water them daily in the morning, was told if I don’t water the apple trees their roots will grow straight down looking for the water is this true? How often should one be watering a vegetable garden in these high temperatures? I have not experienced these temperatures before & it’s my first garden.
It was fun seeing this process again this year. Your can picker was a great idea and came in handy last year. I will be using it again this year. The “wild” pear tree i found last year is absolutely loaded this year. I did a picking yesterday and will be going back with the can picker later this week. Thanks again for all the great info!
It looks like the pear tree may need some pruning. We did that to our cherry and apple trees and had a bumper crop the following year. We didn’t do it last year and this year the crop isn’t so good.:(
My dad planted a pear tree in our back yard when we first built our house. That was 45 years ago and I don’t think I’ve ever known what kind of pear tree it is. My pears look like yours. What type of pears are they and do you have to do anything specially to them? Mine are hard. Are they just not ripe yet or are they just very firm? Thanks and I look forward to how you put them up. Take care. Bunny in NWFL
At 0:26, when she said, “It’s good to be a little patient with your pears!”, you can tell that she was suppressing laughter, possibly from some double entendre that she had in her mind. ��
Yes, Sir. Pull it side way and little tug, if its ripen, it will come off easily. Great info and cute kid. I just picked a few of my Asian pears that way, works great. Thank you.
Cute kid, and useful info. Thank you for posting! I’ve read a recommendation to freeze pears for a day or two before ripening on the counter. Have you tried that?
I love the simple life!! My family were homesteaders…my dad had a huge garden in our backyard in the middle of the city but we would often visit his family in the country… Best quiet time of my life
Thank you for the information cards linking to other videos that are related that is such a helpful tip!:) I see your Curing Room is getting very full harvest is great. <3
I enjoyed your video great idea for a fruit picker. If I click on the information button though it tells me about making ketchup or canning sweet potatoes no mention of pears.

for someone just starting out, would you recommend getting a standard, semi dwarf, or dwarf trees? I realize that it depends on the room you have to grow them.

Hi Danny, thank you for making this video.. I have a HUGE pear tree in my yard but every single year the birds get them all.. Do you know of any way to stop this? also, thank you for showing us how to know when its time to pick them because I never knew before. Going to check out the other pear videos.. Thank you again!
I moved into a house with a pear tree. The pears are in clusters of 5-6 pears. Last year they were all small pears. Am I supposed to clip the groups down to 1-2 pears?
Awesome video. I’ve bought a house with a pear tree and I have no clue when to pick them. They’re very hard and very dark green. I’ll bring a few in and see how they ripen.

Thanks for this video! We’ve had a pear tree in our garden for about 12 years, and never liked the pears. It seems we’ve been harvesting them incorrectly, I can’t wait to try them in about a month from now:)
Thanks for the video. I live an hour outside of New Orleans Louisiana. There is a very old very tall pear tree on our property I would say safely it’s well over the height of a two-story house. I moved here three years ago. The first year the tree produced mega mega pairs but in mid July the tree literally dropped all the fruit in a 24-48 hour. Last year, there was no fruit. This year there seems to be plenty fruit and it is still on the tree, but it did drop about 25% of it in the last two weeks. Do you have any idea why it drops the fruit? The tree is so tall I’m hoping my husband can get on an extended ladder and pick some. I welcome your thoughts. .

We just bought our house and I have no idea what variety pear we have. It’s mid August and we tried the lift and twist and several dozen popped right off. We’re in Utah, is that too soon??
good vid, I’ was told a good trick is to place the ‘mature’ pears (the ones that easily come off on a horizontal life) in the refrigerator (not freezer) for a week then on the counter for a few days to ripen them. Or to place in brown bag with a banana until ripe.
