Thought this might be of interest to others who live, as we do, in real fire blight areas:

* A new pear cultivar was developed by USDA-ARS Appalachian Fruit Research
Station in Kearneysville, W.Va. ‘Blake’s Pride’ has good flavor and
resistance to fire blight, a major disease problem for pears in the East and
Midwest. Virus-free certified budwood is available free to nurseries, said
ARS horticulturist Richard Bell. http://afrsweb.usda.gov/DBell.htm
