Page Scrawler Posted February 6, 2019 Posted February 6, 2019 My dad has a high school buddy who grows lots of fruit. Mostly cherries, but some apples, peaches, plums, and pears, too. The peaches are good, but the Japanese pears are amazeballs, to borrow a word from @Dayne Mora. Shockingly, the guy doesn't do a thing with the pears. There were only a dozen trees planted, so he doesn't even bother to pick them, never mind sell them. 1 4

I read we can have lemon tree where I live as it live up to -5℃ which is pretty much what we have in winter at night. Plus I'm planning on keeping it safe in the greenhouse wrap in a wintering sheet/veil. Oh... okay... I get it now. 5
