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?
