The Little Pear That Couldn’t

The Asian Pears are growing quite large late into the season.

Though there is a little Pear that has stalled out a long time ago.

All of the Paulownia species I have tried to grow have died back to the ground in bad winters.

But they can bounce back from the ground with amazing growth and gigantic leaves.

With the above normal rainfall, Pumpkins and Squash vines produced a lot.

Here is the first harvest of ripe fruit. When a freeze comes, I will harvest the rest.

Seedling Crabapples are creating a lot of fruit.

The fruit usually lasts awhile into the winter until the birds consume it.

The Yellow Delicious tree is loaded with as many apples as it can handle.

The branches keep bending lower under the weight of the growing apple crop.

My Crimson Beauty Knotweed flowers later than my other knotweed, but also has white flowers.

This cultivar suppose to have crimson flowers. Anyways, these plants attract a lot of pollinating insects with all of its late season nectar.

The Korean Asian Pears are becoming ripe and ready to eat.

This is the first year that I had chestnuts off my Oikos Hybrid Chestnut tree.

Various Miscanthus Grass cultivars are planted among the Persimmons and Pecans.

A lot of the Miscanthus is flowering now. This grass is one of the most ornamental, with the large white plumes, it is sometimes called Pampas grass.

A few Cannas started growing from seed in the garden.

The seed had to be 20 years or more old. The consistent rains have helped these Cannas go from seed to flowering.

The Chinese Necklace Poplar has the biggest leaves of the Populus genus.

Though when grown next to a Paulownia tree, the leaves look small.
