Pears and Pearmains

Busy this afternoon, gathering fruit in the wind before it increased to gale force and the rain arrived.

I think the variety is Williams but I’m not sure. Takes its time to ripen…
All of the Adam Pearmains from one tree – apart from premature windfalls.
I reckon easily 100 lbs of fruit.
A lovely apple: excellent flavour, and it keeps so well.
Note the battered radio: a very useful gardening tool!

Lots of them got a real “suntan” this year; doesn’t always happen.
