Talking with my neighbor the other day and discussing his pear tree. Knowing I'm a home brewer, he asked if I'd like to try using the fruit from his tree.
Here in NJ the pear tree in his yard is just starting to bloom (the fruit is about the size of a pea) and he thinks that if we take an empty bottle and somehow secure it to one of the growing branches, the fruit will grow to full size while inside the bottle. When ready, there will be a full size fruit in the bottle.
I thought this was a cool idea and maybe will try it. Sounds like a good conversation piece...kinda like the ship in a bottle thing.
Anyone else try this or ever known anyone to do it?
