Yes that’s a genetic mutation I’m familiar with them. You might like this thread below.
Observe the size of the wild callery fruit. I really wish I had another lifetime I would get scions of all these large fruit callery seedlings and cross them to improve the variety. Callery will do it on it’s own eventually. Thanks for posting this! The next step in pear rootstocks is clearly callery or gmo
Want to really make some people think with this thread! Do any of you think callery fruit getting larger is any different from how apples started out? Callery are not as far along as apples. The genetics are going to make larger pears preferred by deer which will eat the larger fruit over non large fruit. Those seeds will be spread everywhere.
