From what I have read, a new outdoor patch may not fruit until the 2nd year, I don't know how much truth there is to it, but my flower pot is a year old and fully colonized now but no pins and it's near if not already prime time for them in my area.

hey koods do they like those pear trees as well? or do you just use them as a reference for when they fruit?

Because the wood was colonized and primed to go. It takes a patch of uncoloinzed mulch at least a year to mature, but my experience is that a seeded mulch pile almost never produces the next calendar year. A realistic goal is to have fruiting after the second winter. fresh piles seeded in the fall of 2017 should fruit this spring.
