    Hi all, I planted a pear tree in my garden in 2009 along with a few other fruit trees, one of which was a peach tree which developed peach tree curl so was dug up and binned. The pear tree that year produced loads of fruit. Last winter the pear tree was re planted where the peach tree was. This spring there was plenty of leaf and loads of blossom and what I thought after the flower, a great deal of potential fruit, but looking at the attached image it doesnt seem to be doing too well. Could this be because it is planted where the peach tree was, and if so any suggestions? Thanx, Doug. SAM_0106.jpg
