πΈπ SPRING SNAPSHOT ππΈ
Spring is a time of rejuvenation when we witness the growth of fruitlets (very young fruit), after the beauty of blossom has passed. These fruit will be picked in 3-6 months, once they reach full size.
We contribute to the rejuvenation through grafting which is putting new varieties of pear on the base of another variety of pear tree. Today, we're grafting Lemon Bergamot to Packham, as some Packham trees are getting older and less productive, while Lemon Bergs aren't so profitable. Grafting is a quicker process, with the new variety ready to be picked in around 2 years vs 3-5 years for pulling out old trees planting new ones.
