November last year I planted 4 cordon pears against a west-facing fence.
Beurre Hardy
Doyenne du Comice
Concorde
Williams

All but the comice have come into leaf. The comice seems to have a few tiny buds and did produce a small bunch of flowers a few weeks ago (the others didn't), but to me it's not looking good.
Are Comice late coming into leaf or am I being unnecessarily anxious?

Thanks!

Mine's already flowering, but newly planted trees can take a bit longer to come into leaf. However, yours doesn't even show a sign of the buds swelling and the flowers were probably just a last gasp. I think I'd prepare for the worst

Thanks Nobbie - As I suspected.
I've emailed Orange Pippin Trees, so I'll see what their response is.

Cheers
Pete

Orange Pippin agree it's not going to break dormancy. They have no replacements atm, so are sending a replacement at the end of the year.
