A weak soap solution kills them on contact. In 1998 I had 6 quarts of fruit from both trees. It has been growing slowly with a small crop every year. Unfortunately the chipmonks eat all of the fruit off of the tree. What fruit I have eaten tastes good.
Flowers are a nice white color and the tree flowers well.
I have an excellent crop. The tree is literally falling over with fruit. This tree has been exactly like the Bartlet pear. It is a jelly like growth on the cedar trees and the spores blow in the air and infect the pears the next year. Those growths then re-infect the cedar trees.
