Pear Tree Mystery Leaves

Hello, we planted a Pear Tree last year and some new shoots are growing from the base. They are different leaves to the main plant. Is it something to do with the grafting process? Should I cut them back? I’m not sure what to do about it by RobNav

How many fruit trees?

be able to put into the space ( I think I read somewhere that some trees as cordons can be planted 2 foot apart)? Can you suggest any trees to go in, I'm thinking along the lines of a dessert apple, a pear, plum or damson trees? Are there any combinations by Richardsdrr

No blossom on three year old Victoria Plum

I planted a two year old Vicoria plum last year it has grown well , but has no blossom. I would presume that it's concentrating on putting down some good roots to support all the fruit it's going to give you in the future. Also the blossom grows by Lesley bradley
