Henry, oh Henry (wait, isn't that a candy bar?). I met him yesterday. He stood there tall, proud, strong, and ready to come home with me. The man wasn't sure about him, since we'd have to bring home more than one if I bought Henry, and the price was kind of steep. Not to mention that Henry will make a bigger mess every year we have him, plus he will require a lot more care than what we'd originally intended to invest. But in the end, I asked some questions and found that I could get Henry for half the price, and I could get his mate, Ethel for that price too. I'm so excited!
Now we just need to finalize Henry's and Ethel's forever homes, where they will probably live longer than we will. Hopefully, since Summer Crisp Pear trees are self-pollinating, we will have beautiful pears for a very long time. These are our first trees that we've picked out and bought for ourselves. Let's hope we don't kill them!
