The size of the fruit is much larger than we see, what a lovely bounty to keep bottled for the winter months.
Lovely plot with organic fruit to enjoy along with the family @plantstoplanks made me think back to an avocado tree we used to fish out the fruit with the pool cleaner bag at the end of a long pole.
Sounds like an ingenious tool! Anything to be able to harvest some backyard goodies. I would love to have fresh avocados! They used to have an apple tree that gave small, hard apples good for sauces and jams, as well, but it got struck by lightning and didn't survive. Perhaps all the nutrients got transferred to the pear tree to produce such large fruit, haha!
Lightening strike most probably boosted the pear tree, apple trees we had never bore fruit when we lived inland.
Good to have fruits you are able to use and store, have a wonderful day.
