Fruit trees

    We have apple, pear, peach, cherry, and plum trees. The apple and pear are the only ones that produced enough to talk about. We put up Eight gallon bags of granny smith. Put some of the other apples up but not sure what kind they are. The pear didnt produce much but did get to make some pear butter.

    We had apple trees and a pear tree in the back yard growing up. The apple trees didn't produce much but the pear tree was good.

    No rain really hurt the size of them this year. They were all small but the tree was covered in apples. The pears were good but were small too.

    My friend in Chicago has a cherry tree in his back yard. I missed them this summer but last summer had some off the tree and they were fantastic. My favorite growing up was the acres of blackberry plants my grandma/grandpa had all over their farm. We'd fill several 5 gallon buckets a year.

    My grandma used to have Peach and Cherry trees when we were young, and they always had nice yields. I think it helped that she lived in town, because the animals couldn't get to them.

    We have two apple trees that didn't produce a single apple this year. (They are only a couple of years old and I think the drought is responsible for not having any apples) We also have a lot of berries (not exactly sure what kind) out back normally, but only a few this year.

    No trees but we used to have a few blackberry bushes. Those things were great.
