It was grown to taste like bartlett. That is correct
AC™ Harrow Sweet was developed from a cross of Bartlett x Purdue 80-51 (Old Home x Early Sweet).
Can anyone tell me if this is the beginning of fire blight? One of my 3 Asian pears exhibit these brown leaves symptoms since Spring. This one was labeled “Shinseiki” by Ison’s though I’m having some doubt since one of the other was obviously mislabeled. The tips of the plant looks healthy with nice green leaves.

This one is on my grafting backlog from this spring. I’ve been looking for scions for a while as it’s not offered by nurseries and I discovered it in a brush on the other side of our village.
Cattilac, Tête de Chat, Großer Katzenkopf - buttery and very rich taste. Spicy. I may have to plant more than one. 
It should also keep well into spring and seems to take drought pretty well.

well, what was supposed to be my 1st stacyville pears, that i harvested in sept, never ripened in the fridge and im doubting they were stacyville as they were shaped more like a bartlett. another wrong scion shipped. next time ill wait until they look almost ripe on the tree before picking. hopefully some of the other types of pears also fruit next year. also have Seirra and pineapple pear grafted on a 8ft. Ivans belle hybrid mtn. ash, I’m going to graft it completely over to pears as i don’t care for the fruit. the tree is vigorous so it should fruit fairly quickly.
