A Fruitful Walk

A walk around the Back 40 revealed a nice crop of soft mast for fall. These are wild plums on some trees I planted 6 or 7 years ago. A Seckel pear tree fruiting for the 1st time. Hopefully the bear won't break it down if they spy it's fruit.





A close-up of the Seckel pears.


The wild blackberrys are looking good. Maybe they will keep the bears busy.







An apple on a grafted "Sherry" apple tree. This variety is noted for its fruit hanging on the tree all winter.









The Paw Paw trees are heavy with clusters of fruit.




I get a great feeling of satisfaction when I see a tree that I planted years earlier setting fruit and knowing that it will still be producing long after I'm gone.
