I live in zone 7a in central NC and have a small collection of dwarf,
fire blight resistant apples and pears.

I enjoy quince and service berry and would like to add them to my
orchard, however, I can find no information about fire blight resistant
fruiting varieties.  Does anyone have a suggestion for tasty, resistant
varieties that would do well in my area?

Am I correct in thinking that a locally infected quince may make my
resistant pears more likely to experience an infection?

Thanks for any help that you can provide,
