I"m assuming my “chokepear” is a common pear. It was the rootstock of a Bartlett that lasted only a few years, planted almost 40 yrs ago. I’ve read common pear seedling fruit is variable but most comments make it sound like they are at least somewhat edible but these aren’t, except to the deer who love them, and probably birds. This year we had a bumper crop of the 1 inch round fruits and I found when they are REALLY ripe they do have a bit of a pear taste, but one bite is plenty enough for me. The tree is beautiful and about 35 ft tall and I’ve never done anything with it. But now I have a stronger interest in pears and plan to do some pruning and grafting. I’d like to get a few branches of edible pears on it. A book I have “Edible Wild Plants” by Oliver Perry Medsger is the only place I’ve seen the name choke pear but that’s what we’ve always called it. I’ll check out Walden Heights for rootstock, thanks.
