Pumpkin in a Pear Tree


A strange site for a couple on an Iowa farm, as they look out to their pear tree. At first glance one would be confused to see a pumpkin growing not only on a tree but suspended so high off the ground. By the looks of it the pumpkin patch that it belongs to is engulfing the base of the tree, giving an explanation to how it got up there.


JaNelle Lovely, the land owner, says she found the peculiar site on Labor Day. She says many people have stopped out to see it for themselves, and she hopes it stays there until it turns orange for the Halloween season.

The vine that holds the pumpkin is wrapped tightly up the tree giving it support to hang like one of the trees own fruits. It’s a great idea, and I wonder if someone got it from somewhere else.

How does the song go? …… Two turtle doves, and a pumpkin in a pear tree…?
