Bad news this morning.
A while back, I reported that a large branch of the apple tree had broken off ... It's still attached to the tree & sap is still flowing (cause the leaves haven't dried up yet).
Well this morning, the same fate befell my much smaller pear tree. Except that this time, the branch was on the ground. Leaves were already fried up.
Lotsa fruit on the branch & they might still rippen, but the small pear tree just got smaller ...
