I certainly plan to give it more time, since they are supposed to be so good, the main problem for me has been the little to no production, the root stock the nursery put it on ‘is OHxF 513 root stock’. 5 years and 1 pear to show for it.
I forget to mention that a tiny spot of the pear was sort of sweet and had a mild flavor, I was surprised because the part of the pear that the sun hit most directly it smelled like sugary syrup, yet even the sort of sweet part ‘the sweetness was underwhelming.’
This year there was more pears on the tree yet the fruit got hit by disease, the tree it’s self was fine, one of the fruit was hit by ‘cedar-quince rust’, as I shared here Pear Fruit infestation, the others pears I think they had the same thing yet the pears were no where near as bad looking.
