Pyrus pyrifolia - color

Height 10 inches. In training since 1995. From a seedling dug in my yard in Tallahassee, FL in 1990 (remnants of the waste from a batch of pear relish Jackie made in 1989).

Very nice tree Jim, autumn colors is beautiful.

Thanks, Pavel. I've had a lot of fun with this tree over the years.

Wish I could get it to bloom!

Truly a tree to relish then, Jim.

JIM,,This is another good one !! great color also.. is it kept pruned too close not to flower or fruit??? anyway a natural looking tree...take care john

I don't know, John. Some years, I've done little to it and let it go. Still no blooms. We planted 4-5 other seedlings along our drive. When last seen they were 30 + feet tall. Bloomed profusely every spring and were gorgeous in the fall. The guy who bought our farm cut them all down!

Pretty tree Jim. I have one I collected fromseed about 12 years old; no blooms either. But the color!!!

Jim,
Lovely.

thats just killer color the pears out here don't do anything like that nice ruddy red!

Nice tree Jim Have you given any thought about a different pot for it? Maybe a wider, shallower glazed pot...green or blue or cream?

Thats an appealing tree like the trunk structure.

Thanks all. Guess I'll have to live with the "bloomlessness."

It has lived in other pots, but seems happiest in this one. Maybe I'll find a better one some day.

Jim,
Here's a pic of my wild Pyrus on a rock. I will do a new post after the leaves fall to show structure.
