A council has cordoned off pear trees in a public park over fears falling fruit could land on someone's head.
Two black pear trees in Cripplegate Park in Worcester have been sealed off with a safety barrier and tape and a sign warns people of falling fruit.
A city council spokesman said the precaution was cheaper than the potential legal cost if someone was hit on the head with a pear and sued.
The cordon will be removed when all the fruit has fallen to the ground.
