Скачать или смотреть A pear tree grown from seed

Sorry about the abrupt end-memory card ran out. Julia grew this pear tree from a seed (pip) which came from an unusual and very old tree which grows in the centre of Winchester, near an ancient building called 'God Begot House' and one of our very favourite pubs, The Royal Oak. You can see the tree for yourself if you visit Winchester

I still discourage people from trying to grow a fruit tree from a pip, it is a long and chancy process, but as long as you are patient, know what you are doing, are willing to risk dissapointment, and have enough room, there's no reason not to do it. Just don't rely on the outcome.

This particular tree is very old and unusual. I may video it when we're next in Winchester and it is fruiting. Very old tree, small odd shaped fruit that hangs all through the winter. Time will tell about this seedling.
