Pluots and Pears

For Ingrid's birthday, we bought and planted two new fruit trees in our front yard.  The four-way pluot has varieties Dapple Dandy, Flavor Supreme, Flavor Queen, and Flavor King.  

The pear tree is a Comice.  That initial prune is psychologically brutal to make, but still necessary. We're relying on advice, in part, from Ann Ralph's Grow a Little Fruit Tree.
