Pear Harvest 2024

I hesitate to say that. I have many European pear varieties that are known to be blight-sensitive and have not had any significant problems. But I also lost all Bartlett and Bartlett clones during the 2015 epidemic as well as many trees and grafts of other varieties. In 2022, I lost several trees and had a lot of blossom and twig blight on blight-resistant varieties. Though Joseph Postman reported that these Hybrids have been disease-resistant in Corvallis, OR, I lost the sister seedling Hybrid VII in 2022 along with a Best Ever tree beside it. I’m very happy to send you scions and let you try it. It would be good to know how it does in your area. It certainly should be quite cold hardy. Send my your snail mail address
