Hot five-way asian action

Here is the delightful pear tree I acquired and planted yesterday.

If you look down at where all the branches come off the rootstock, you'll notice that there are a bunch of tags nestled there. Those tags denote what kind of pear each branch is — five in total. So we've got a five-way asian pear tree.

It's awesome so far and it'll be even greater when we're enjoying sweet crunchy pear juiciness later this summer. I can't wait.

If you look to the far right of the frame, you'll also notice another tall spindly tree still in its pot. That is an Italian prune, said to be ridiculously sweet and delectable. I'm not sure if it'll fruit this year, but if it does, BONUS!

It'll be planted out in the backyard with the other trees I have yet to get, as soon as we can decide on final placement and whether or not this will involve final disassembly and disposal of the fallen tree which is dying slowly, but surely, and is really almost dead.
