What kind of pear do you think I should grow? This is zone 7.
I have two 'yard pears', probably Keiffers, that produce enough to whet 
my appetite for a really good variety, and one Maxine grafted onto 
Moonglow. That tree is almost 10 years old, 25 feet tall or more, and I 
have only gotten a few pears from it.   I like making pear salad, 
(pears, cheese, a splash of mayo and a cherry), I can some just to eat , 
 but mostly I just like a good eating pear that will keep at least as 
well as apples.  I like the taste and texture of Bosc and Bartlets, and 
I like the color of more red pears...I have the Stark catalog in front 
of me and can't decide.  Suggestions?
