My Nashi Tree!!!

I can see my Nashi Tree outside of my bedroom window, the nearly three years that we have had it planted there since we moved down to Orewa it has pretty much stayed the same... it grew one fruit partially on it last year, it got its leaves and lots them again once.....

It now looks like this!!!!!

It has established leaves that have been there for the past month at least!! It has five fruit buds! I am EXCITED!!!!


the reason that it has two different types of leaves on the different sides is because one side (the one with the smaller leaves) got grafted onto the other one when it was a tree-ling (don't know the official name) and so the tree has two different types of Nashi on it!!


By the way... a little tid bit of information you may not have known:

Ever since we lived on the farm in Wellsford 10 years ago... (time goes fast!!) I found a Nashi tree by the pond and have loved the fruit ever since!!!


No.. they are not full grown Nashi Trees..... They are plum trees... (They are also where the water use to reach when it flooded as we had a stream running through the property- bottom of photo)
