why you must prune. imagine 3 pears each instead of just one. the branch nearly touches the ground. it would have broken for sure. parker pear tree branch

  1. Hello Laura,

    I found your website searching for some pear photos, and was impressed by yours! Your Parker pear looks delicious.

    We have a small hardy fruit tree nursery in Quebec, Canada, and our Patten pear tree has not been producing fruit yet, but we offer this variety, so I am searching for a photo that I could use on our website until ours decides to fruit. I would like to ask if you would allow us to use one of yours?

    Thanks in advance for your help!

    1. sure, you can use my patten pear picture until your trees start fruiting. just credit my name under the photo please. there are also some patten pear pictures in this post down at the bottom showing the slight reddish blush they can get. http://minnesotapears.blogspot.com/2016/08/pear-pictures.html
