FWIW, in most red skinned sports of green pears the leaves are red or reddish and seem to be less efficient than pure green ones, making the trees slower growing and less well branched, in many cases.

Few day ago I asked if some one could direct me to a site  where I 
could obtain some red pear scions.  I am looking for red skinned
pear scions .  I have 15 fairly young pear trees and have grafted 
various green types on them and would like to make my trees more 
attractive as a lot of people tour my orchard.  A branch of red pears 
among green ones is a real show stopper if you have ever have seen 
one. One I am interested in  is Red Rogue as I read that it is 
suppose to be a good keeper. I have Birne Red (red fleshed) but it 
also have not produced yet.  Thanks-Ray
