  • Subject: [NAFEX] pear trees for Austin, Texas
  • Date: Sun, 11 Jan 2004 22:05:58 -0600

I am trying to obtain information about appropriate pear varieties for the Austin, Texas area. I have been able to round up very little reliable information regarding this subject. Most info I have is second hand or vague. I am told that we receive about 650 chill hours a year. Would I still be able to plant lower chill varieties like Orient or Pineapple which I am told need about 350-450 chill hours? Any information or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Drew
