They're tiny now - having just emerged from the heart of each Asian Pear blossom. But given sunshine, a little rain, and some special care and attention from the orchard team, these pint-size baby fruits will be grown up Asian Pears before we know it!
During bloom, as all the white petals gently fell to the ground, countless baby Asian Pears first showed themselves. Each is topped with a birthday crown remnant from the blossom. These "party hats" will fade during the next several months as the Asian Pears swell to full size.
