Title: Re: [NAFEX] Looking for Winter Nelis Pear

I have the variety, but it's leafed out.  Love the fruit, hate the tree.  Brushy, unruly "witches broom" growth habit combined with a terrible tendency to sooty mold all over it.   As much as I like the fruit, I'm seriously considering grafting it over to something else.
