The pear blossom is one of the typical flowers of spring in the area I live. There are many pear farms in my neighbourhood.
The photo was taken in an abandoned nashi pear farm.
Too many flowers on a branch like cherry blossoms, in this case, it is good for enjoyment of viewing the flower. But, it is no good for fruit.
All pear trees in this farm have been overgrown, because of that pruning works have not been done long time due to the manpower shortage. The farm owner is more than 80-year-old, all of his children had gone to city to find easy way of life.
This is one of the hard realities of Japanese farmers that is leading to the steady decline of the Japanese agriculture.
