Ayers pear!

@rayrose

I’m glad to hear good fortune is smiling on you again this year. It’s a good pear in my opinion for those of us who like a sweet , melting, dripping pear! It’s one of the best for the south in the heart of fireblight country so here in Kansas we very seldom see strikes on these trees. In my opinion anyone with an ayers pear tree is very fortunate. By a twist of fate I accidentally grow to many not realizing at first I was a victim of mislabeled we called it red blushing Bartlett for years. It was sold to me by a big box as a red Bartlett many years ago but I can only smile as they did me a favor. Meanwhile I grafted ayers as I had heard it was a good pear. Imagine my surprise when I found out I owned it for years! Only through good record keeping did I discover what happened. Fortunately when I tagged things I took photos as well An untagged pear wound up being Ayers - Been wanting that variety
