Usually, I stop once I reach the simplest feasible answer: the wind blew all the pears off the tree, over a cliff, and into the water (perhaps the tree went as well; this is some strong wind we're talking about).

But maybe it wasn't until months later, when all the pears had fallen off the tree and rotted, when a "strong wind blew".

WhAT iF the wInd bLeW the tr33 of the GroUnd with The peArs sTiLl in it??????????

i love it when people over-analyze. 2 pears in the tree to start, 1 fell, 1 stayed. there is only one pear on the ground and in the tree, so no pears in the plural form, just a single pear at each location.

A tornado pulled the pears of the tree with a storng wind, it then pulled them into the sky, placeing them someplace else.

The pears were picked off by someone.

ANSWER?
The pears are still on the pear tree? In any good riddle one must take into account EVERY word. At the beginning of the riddle, it says there were a few trees in the garden. Well let's say there were 2 trees, an apple tree and a pear tree with pears. At the end it says there were no pears on the tree. Which tree? If they were talking about the apple tree, then there were no pears on that tree nor the ground because the pears were never blown off of the pear tree. ;-)
