Apricots; juicy and very sweet. A zillion light years away from most commercially grown varieties. From my sister's garden. One week before and the branches had to be supported; the tree was laden with fruit and the tree had only been planted the year before!

So the comerciallity of this variety is limited to sell little baby trees to private yard owners??
Really nice when a new plant proves worth the space it takes up. I will tell my pear tree" all about it and see if it gets inspired. ;o)

I agree, Fizgig! Thank you.

Ha Ha! Will the pear tree obey you!
My Sister and Brother-in-law were very surprised and I can assure you it isn't normal, neither the precocity of this little tree nor its productivity!

Our pear tree at Schwabniederhofen is the running joke in the family. I got enough wisecracking in-law-siblings with a green thumbs of my own. They claim "Pastorenbirne"as a breed would not grow well in the Pfaffenwinkel as the climate is not quite becoming to a decidedly lutheran tree. Ugh!!!! :o)
I am just glad the cursed thing does not take up space at Friedrichshafen. The next fruit tree I buy must be a pagan so I can ask Demeter easier to make it perform by force if needed. ;o)

Serously, it's an issue about varieties that cam be used to polinate each other ro buying self-pollinating breeds. Some fruit trees are easier there than others it seems.
