See it's spreading, I've been keeping these pears under observation for a while and was planning to go back with a ladder, but yesterday afternoon I saw these two 'highway harvesters'. Raiding what I'd come to think of as MY 'Conference' pears.

Heh heh heh,you`ve left it a little late my friend.
Sometimes, it's the critters and sometimes, ... well, it's not. Maybe, they left you some?

I would have thought so too, but the last time I checked they weren't ripe.
Kudos to the girls for getting stuck in though.

I'll not sure I'll get the chance, I need to go south to see the kids. BAH!

Wow how crazy is that? That one is all up in that tree.

It was hilarious to watch, and they weren't be pleased to find me snapping away or with the news that they were about to be famous online. LOL

Ah! What a couple of inconsiderate jerks, eh?
As for pears, ask the farmworker (13 Summers in pear orchards)... you don't pick 'em ripe, you pick 'em when the sugars are up, but just before ripe. The top of the pear (by the stem) should be able to depress a little bit with thumb pressure.
I hope they left some for you!
I just read your comments - kids are sweeter than pears, anyway.

That would be why I usually eat them cooked, the window of opportunity between ripe and mush is so small

They've got their backsides turned to you. You've got a slingshot.
Just sayin'...

The camera was doing a good job but I had to boost, still pears maybe over but we've a few patches of damsons that aren't ready yet.

If they are growing anywhere near a road, they will need to be washed really well. We often harvest those trees growing wild on the side of the road, grown from apple cores thrown from the window of a moving vehicle. Even if they are not that good, the chooks will eat them.

The road they're growing on is quite busy but as the trees are higher than the road I'm OK with eating them, its root veg from lower than the road that I'd really worry about as the airborne pollutants will settle on to the soil.
