[Leica] IMG: Cleveland Pear

[Douglas Barry]

Ahh.. I'm not the gardener, just the labourer. My knowledge of plants and 
planting is limited, Jim. Mind you, I do know I want a pear tree that 
delivers fruit! So it probably be a Conference pear tree as they work with 
the Irish climate. But it won't be tomorrow as everywhere will be shut as 
it's St. Patrick's Day. Instead of green fingers, it'll be green face 
paint....
