The recent posts about pears got my mouth watering, was looking up a couple
of the pears in the Fruit, Berry and Nut Inventory book, and decided to see
what were listed as pears hardy to zone 4 or colder. I am willing to try
fruit that's good to zone 4 here experimentally. Reading the FBNI
descriptions didn't help the mouth watering problem!
Here is the list I made up from FBNI's info, would be interested in
comments, since their info is all from catalog's claims. I listed 41 pears,
some the zone is not mentioned , some had no mention of FB resistance. If
you wish to comment, I thought it might easiest to just add comments
adjacent to the fruit as listed. s=suseptable mr=moderatly
resistant r=resistant vr=very resistant Thanks!
