    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... :(

    Looks lovely, Barb. :D 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. :(
