Claude,

 Nice pictures!  I haven't been able to locate your article from Pomona "Pears in cold climate"? Do you know where I could find it? 

 

Thanks,

Nate

Nathan,

In my orchard near Quebec, colder part of zone 4, I have Harrow Delight
which is hardy, but only marginally - on cold winters, there may be a bit
of damage, and the flower buds may freeze.

I have a nice young Flemish Beauty tree which is hardy here - this
variety is usually recommended for cold climate.

Have you read my article in Pomona about 2 years ago "Pears in cold
climate"?

You can see pictures that I have posted at the following URL:

I have recently planted Luscious and Patten pear trees, but I am
looking for a third variety to plant since Luscious is pollen sterile.
Are there any suggestions for a good eating and especially canning pear
for zone 3b/4a? I was originally looking at a Seckel, but I I've been
reading conflicting reports on its hardiness. Has anyone sucessfully
grown them in zone 3b or 4a?

Lately I've been leaning toward planting a Southworth or Nova...does
anyone have any experience with them or potentially another kind that may
have overlooked?



Thanks,
