Pears and Pearmains 9th October 2022 Chris Jessop Busy this afternoon, gathering fruit in the wind before it increased to gale force and the rain arrived. I think the variety is Williams but I’m not sure. Takes its time to ripen… All of the Adam Pearmains from one tree – apart from premature windfalls.I reckon easily 100 lbs of fruit.A lovely apple: excellent flavour, and it keeps so well.Note the battered radio: a very useful gardening tool! Adam Pearmain in close up.Lots of them got a real “suntan” this year; doesn’t always happen.
