::Fruit Trees::

We have wanted some pear trees for awhile. My brother inlaw has an abundance of juicy pears every year from his few pear trees in the backyard. We tried to order some last year at the Go Green sale but they never came in. Then we found some fabulously priced trees at Costco. We brought home two! We placed them in our "tree oasis" where the tree swing is. Fingers crossed they will take and produce pears for our family in time.
