The only way you will find out what happened to the pear in my opinion is contact the farm in that area with the name I’m guessing. Again If anyone asks I’d it’s stonypit infected I would say yes that’s my suspicion but it could attract stinkbugs or have other genetic anomalies that cause the pears to have that appearance.

@alan business is to care for Orchards of the ultra wealthy. Many times when they say they grow pears such as ginnybrook they really mean Alan or someone like him advises them of the care for these pears. I’m not implying Alan takes care of Martha’s orchard at the moment I’m saying he has similar clients. He is a legendary orchardist. Perhaps his clients grow this novelty pear.
