OLD FRUIT TREES FOR EXPERIMENTAL PROJECT


Last Sunday Nellie and I toured the grounds of the homestead to photo the old fruit trees. My goal is to renovate these trees for sentimental reasons. They need thinning, pruning (perhaps too late this year), fertilizing, and spraying.

This old pear tree is the only tree remaining in an area that was called "the orchard" during my lifetime. My dad ignored it as he did all the old fruit trees. The only trees we picked were the two pie cherry trees which were lost to the house renovation in 1999.





The trees above are located at the pond. The trees on the left are on the lane. And the last photo is of my friend Nellie on point near the pond.
