pear tree - removal of tiny pears?
By Bigel
bedfordshire,
United Kingdom 
Now that the blossom has disappeared there are clusters of 8 or 9 tiny pears all over the tree. Should I remove any of these tiny pears from each cluster so that the remaining ones grow bigger or leave them alone?
many thanks.

Yes, also pests may claim a few! Grrrr!
It's up to you. Some books will advise to keep the bigger ones and pull the small weak ones away.
