Thanks to everyone who responded to my questions about how to overwinter
pear trees in 10-gallon tubs.  I think I will go with the consensus and put
them in the basement for the winter.  I store angel trumpets and bananas
there with success.  It stays about 40F and is dark.  There is a concrete
floor so I can water the pots every two weeks or so.

To answer Fluffy's question--my miniature pears are scions from genetic
dwarfs--Le Nain Vert and Muscat--grafted on to OH-F97 rootstock.

Again, thanks to all you experts.  This is what I love about the Nafex
listserv.
