Reply To: Horn Manure a potential cure for pear midge?

[Dino]

I planted a new pear tree four years ago, and we haven’t had a pear off it despite a good showing of blossom each spring. Sometimes two or three fruitlets are visible around May but they don’t seem to swell and come mid summer there’s nothing there. Could that be the pear midge? We don’t have any other pear trees within 1 km but we do have about forty beehives on the farm that should help with pollination. I’ve heard biodynamics mentioned before. What does it involve?
