I want my children (and me) to learn about how a fruit tree produces it's fruit.
-
Fantastic! Our newsletters will keep you up to date on what we are doing and why, and when you come to visit we will show you different parts of the Pear Tree and how we prune them
-
-
Can I Pick The Blossom off my Pear Tree and take it home?
-
NOOO! The blossom makes the fruit and we will do all the 'correct' pruning to ensure your tree produces as much fruit as possible, so no swinging from branches, tree climbing or pulling off leaves!
-
-
I want to pick my fruit before September can I do this?
-
Your Pears will be ready from September, they are perfect for juicing or making jams just before they are fully ripe, if you can't make September picking, then come a few weeks later when they will be full of sweet juices. Yum!
-
-
What if my Pear Tree doesn't produce any fruit?
-
This is very unlikely, but there are always unknowns! If your fruit yield is particularly low we will have other Pears trees which you can pick to add to your Pear Pick but please bare in mind each year's weather and pollination does affect the fruit crop differently. And its not just about the Pears! You have a special place on our farm for you to enjoy aswell!
-
-
How Do I Pick The My Pears?
Its great fun, we will show you the correct way to Pick a Pear and then off you go, your children will love it!
-
Is The Fruit Organic?
-
We are not registered officially as an Organic Farm but we do not spray our Pear Trees with any Pesticides, any spraying used to deter the bugs is Organic.
-
-
