Studies out of British Columbia suggest that OHXF 51 lacks cold
hardiness. I don't think the fruit growing regions of British Columbia
are as cold as Madison, Wisconsin.

Orchard Systems

What rootstock does Mielke like for green d'Anjou? While trees on Old
Home by Farmingdale (OHxF) 97 have produced as
well as other rootstocks, OHxF 87 produced double the crop of OHxF 97 in
the fifth leaf. (Spreading is key to early bearing
for pears on OHxF rootstocks.) The annual production advantage did not
last beyond the sixth leaf in Mielke's trial, but as
Clark Seavert has taught me, the time-value of money makes this early
difference something to consider. While OHxF
rootstocks other than 97 and 333 were difficult to obtain in the past,
adaptation of new propagation techniques means that
OHxF 87, 69, and 40 are and will be available options for growers.
