Title: Re: [NAFEX] Fw: Pears
My inclination would be to remove the Flemish Beauty since the symptoms you describe might be from virus.  Graft the Anjou over to something else - it will give you a tree to try a few new varieties on.

About 15 years ago I bought 4 varieties of pears:
Flemish Beauty-- has only produced a few pears for many years. The fruit is warty/corky/-- inedible--never produced a fruit I could eat.
Anjou --has never produced a fruit
Conference (or Conferance)- produces a modest crop of smallish russeted pears- very pleasant to eat
Moonglow--produces a great crop ==each year I have to prop up some of the branches--great eating. They are ripening right now!

Question"-- should I remove the Flemish Beauty and Anjou??
Thanks in advance                Bert
