Re: [nafex] moonglow & Flemish beauty pears



Hello,

How much have you thinned the fruit already (how much space between each
fruit)?

You have two choices;

   a) thin fruit further and prop branches

   b) leave fruit and watch branches break

I know what I would consider the bigger "sob".

Anyone have a recipe for under ripe pears?  Could they be used in apple
butter for filler?

Regards,
tom
