  • Introduce myself to the forum

    Hi guys, my name is Jose and I am from Spain.
    I am a big fan of fruit trees and I have more than 20 years of experience growing fruit trees, exchanging varieties with friends from other countries and participating actively in forums of my country and in forums of foreign countries.
    I live in the central area of Spain, specifically in the region of Castilla la Mancha (Zone 8) and I have a orchard of 4 hectares with a lot of fruit varieties of all kinds.
    In Spain I am the owner a Hotel-Restaurant, but my two great hobbies are the cultivation of fruit trees and sport fishing in the sea in all its modalities.

    At the request of the moderator Scarlet (I send you a greeting from here)
    She consider that it is convenient to coment some of the varieties of my orchard (it will be a little boring, but let's try).

    Most of the varieties that I will be putting in this post, are available for exchange this winter (except the very small plants grafted this spring).

    So that it is not so monotonous, today I will only put my collection of pears:

      Hi Jose and welcome! That's a very fine pear collection. I have a collection of only three pear trees in my garden, but they are very big and produce huge numbers of pears. I don't know what varieties they are but they all look a bit different and they mature at different times.

        Do not let my collection of pears overwhelm you, you'll see when we get to my collection of cherry, pluots, etc ......

        But we will go little by little, since I want to get to know the members of this forum, which for the moment has seemed magnificent.
        I know only a little about the "rules" of this forum, and Scarlet "the moderator" has welcomed me and gave me the guidelines to follow.


        So I hope that more people join this post, which I hope we all enjoy.

        Please if someone have any question about any variety, you can ask what you want

        a greeting
        Jose

                    Hello again guys, and thanks for welcome to the forum.

                    Scarlet, I use the "whip and tonge" grafting system, for the varieties of fruit of the pip (pears apple trees etc .....), at the end of February, during the month of March, even until the middle of the month of April, with the rootstock in already in vegetative state, after those dates it is better to use the system of grafting Chip Budding.

                    Norfolkgrey, I am the owner of a restaurant, and I can use all the fruit, also gift the fruit to my family and friends, and of course I can put some pictures of my varieties of pears (now I am working), this afternoon I will do some photos and put them in the forum.

                    If some of you do not know some variety, you ask my about it.

                    Do not overwhelm yourself, my collection of pears, is not the most important fruit variety of my orchard, as you will soon discover.

                    Best regards
                    Jose

                      Welcome Jose

                      The only fruit I grow myself is strawberries. I can see you are going to be a valuable contributor to this forum.

                          Welcome to the vine Jose, I'm blown away with the amount of pears and really interested to see how big your total collection of fruit is. I have just given my brother in law the two cherry trees I had as they are cooking and not eating cherries, I didn't know they were just cheap at Lidl's but they made some excellent jam when in the hands of my sister in law.

                            Hi Chris11, vixylix, cadalot, and rest of friends.
                            The promised is debt , so Let's go with some pictures of my varieties of pears.

                            It is the first time that I insert photos in this forum, so if I do not do it right, I will edit it.
