Question from
lynn whitaker
I know that the fruit on the weeping willow leaved pear is inedible but it does look very pretty and I want some. I have had my single specimen for three or four years now - it produced a fruit shortly after purchase but never since. Does it need a friend?
If it does need a friend does it need a close friend? I ask because I have just bought a pair of conference pear trees which I will be planting in the vicinity - will they do the trick or is that like trying to mate a St Bernard with a chihuaha? As you can see I know nothing about gardening other than what looks pretty. Keeping them pretty is the tricky part. But then again just being alive constitutes success in my (gardening) book.
