May I repeat that I've had experience with ONE pear cultivar doing much better on 'Bartlett' rootstock than on an OHxF. I'm about 30 miles due north of you, in rather poor, droughty soil.

It seems that the OH X F series only occassionally dwarfs the scion cultivar and not significantly.
Still, compared to P. communis seedlings, they are said to be more resistant to FB.
So I have a couple questions:
Do the OH X F induce earlier bearing?
Are they worth the extra cost over standard rootstocks?
Aside from rootstocks from other . . . 'genera' (the plural of 'genus' escapes me) quince, and pyrodwarf, what pear rootstocks do you nafexers prefer for zones 5 or lower?
Thanks much
