Comments:
: Our pear tree is so loaded with fruit that branches which were 6 feet high are now touching the ground.  1.5" bows are bent double.  We coldn't possible use all the fruit.

: 1.  Should I thin it out so the resources are more available for the remaining fruit and to relieve the stress?

: Last time it bore fruit - about 2 years ago, the fruit was hard and woody.  Even when stewed they had a sandy texture.  Is there anything I can do to improve the quality?  Is this a symptom of too many fruit?
