UNCLEG:
Just a thought, not sure but from your pics there looks to be a wooded area near your yard...leaves and pinestraw would make an excellent mulch for the tree....it also breaks down faster so that it helps improve your soil.  Just a thought and its free...my favorite price. :good2:

duh:
Oh yes I have many many leaves lol.  I'll grind some up and put them around that tree.

One of the cuttings has put it's first leaves out I hope it does well just in case the mature tree doesn't.

bayou girl:
tammy, if you run out of oomph, or even if you don't, you can rake the leaf litter up around the tree without grinding it.  that is better than nothing and it will break down.

duh:
Of course all the leaves are already removed from that area, but I have plenty more.  I just haven't had the umph to get out there and do anything yet.  I will though.  I bought the fruit spikes and when I put those in I'll probably get the mulching done too.

duh:
Well the pears have regrown their leaves since I put down the spikes.  So, although I may have lost the harvest this year I at least appear to have saved the trees.  Thank you so much for your advice and support that made that possible. 

The plumbs are getting bigger so it looks like I'll have a harvest there anyway, crossing my fingers.
