hey man, it looks like you’re in my neck of the woods. I live in Montgomery County. I’m new to growing pears and im wondering if you have any you recommend? I am looking to grow without spray, and I do have a moonglow but its 1 yr and ill remove it if its pointless. I also have Ayers and Seckel. Any help would be much appreciated!

See the thread on fireblight resistant pears. The really fireblight resistant pears are a short list

Warren, Farmingdale, Potomac, tyson, Hood, Bell, Clark’s Small Yellow, Blake’s Pride, etc should be on your radar.

I put in a Honeysweet. It’s at least another year from producing. I’m in Delco. Potomac, Shenandoah, Bell and Harrow Sweet also looked good.

I planted a Potomac and Warren in the spring. No firelight, but only about 2 feet tall bareroots. I do spray all my trees pretty close to the VT spray schedule.
