Dear Steve,
 
Have you heard of PATHAR(=Stone) NAKH(Pear) that has also been called a Sand Pear by some authors.  It has a very large spreading tree that bears apple shaped gritty fruits.  It is a very heavy bearer.  The fruits remain hard at maturiy and are juicy.  They can be transported in gunny bags and are excellent keepers.
 
A preserve is made of the fruits.  This pear can also be used for juice making.
