My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Problem with pears

9 years ago

My pear tree (Clapps Favourite I think) is approx 7yrs old and first year it has had flowers. Lots of fruit started but we had a very wet spring/summer (Ottawa Ont Ca)

Fruit started turning brown & skin is like leather & cracking. Any idea what is causing this and any remedy gor nect year?
