Yes your always a little better off figuring on worse case scenario when it comes to pear trees. Many of the trees i planted early on were zone 4 when i was zone 5b and most are still growing strong. Glad we were upgraded to 6a now that we are warmer because pears such as abate fetel are now within my reach to grow. Hopefully your zone gets an upgrade someday. Many of my pears that now produce fruit taught me a long lesson in patience Here comes the 2016 apple and Pear harvest!
Here comes the 2018 apple & pear harvest!
I only hope a few of these new ones will be equally as good or better than the ones i grow now. The first pears i grew were harder to wait for because at the time i had no pears to eat while waiting. Now i have the luxury of already having sweet pear fruits to eat.
