A young pala pear tree in our meadow in the lower field. Bore fruit for the first time 2 years ago. Unfortunately the birds are usually quicker to pick the (still unripe) fruit. Has recovered well from the deer browsing that I treated with clay and cow dung.

Excursus:

The ancient Pala pear trees can still be found in the Upper Venosta Valley. The high, knotted trees are dotted around the landscape, often at the roadsides or on village greens. The sweet Pala pear has always been considered particularly healthy, and once used to be prescribed by doctors and pharmacies. In the Upper Venosta Valley, this almost extinct pear, was first was mentioned under the name Pilli Palli pear in the Coira Castle chronicle in 1755. It is still used in many different dishes, for example in the Christmas loaf with diced pear or the Pala pear bread (Palabirabrot). It is also very popular as a classy distillate.

April 17th.

Last night, just before sunset, I was sitting by the grill and scrolling endlessly through the internet when I received a message with the content “🐗”.

I immediately knew what it meant and sent the quadcopter to the meadow behind the house.

Since the meadow was mowed yesterday, it has become more difficult for the wild boars to hide from my camera :-)
