trees

Shortly after we moved in we found a pear tree in the back yard. It had been neglected for years. My little brother trimmed it up and removed some of the dead branches and it seems to be recovering nicely. While it was flowering I went out to brush some pollen around to help the pollination along. Later I read that pear trees are self sterile. I hope I didn't screw up the pollination process too much. I can see a few small pears growing on the tree already. I met one of my neighbors who lives adjacent to my back yard and he told me he had a pear tree. I guess that's where I am getting my pollen from. I also bought a few fruit trees at walmart. I bought 2 apple trees a cherry tree and a plum tree. I need to go back and buy a second cherry tree because those are also self sterile. One of the people I go to church with knows a lot about trees and he things I can get them producing in a few years if I take good care of them. Above is a picture of my small orchard. I think it needs a nice pathway and a bench
