They do take up lots of room.
Wish I had an apple tree like that ..
Mine all seem to die quickly.

That's a beautiful tree Barb. Be glad when mine gets that large. My mom had a pear tree and always made the best pear preserves. What I would give for a jar of them now! And to talk to my mom...

(What is frozen pear or peach junk?)
Your tree is beautiful!

Looks lovely, Barb.  We'd love a pear tree but would have to train it up against a wall due to our climate. And we have no walls to train it up against.
