So in the fall I like driving around and looking for fruit trees in abandoned farms, edges of yards, fields and the like and then evaluating the fruit.

This is a pear I recently found. On a standard rootstock or it's own roots and at least 20+ years old.

Fruit had very little disease. Some had a bit of scab but that was it.

Fruit required a bit of effort to release from the tree but not much. There were a few windfalls on the ground.

They are sitting on my counter ripening as I type this.
