 I've decided that since pears like our soil and apples don't, then I'll just have to find pears that come in early and late and with as much variation as possible.  I have some Europeans and some Asians, some have cropped.  I have plenty of rootstocks, it seems a shame to order trees but I might wind up doing it.   Variety and nursery recommendations would be appreciated.  I know Seckel is supposed to be high quality, but I have never really liked the astingency of the skin on those few I've eaten.  On the other hand, I guess that would be a plus for making wine.  I have seen some incomplete lists of bloom times.  Late bloomers would be a good idea.  I have these already:

 

Twentieth Century     collected locally,  I really like this one

Tenn                           ditto   very nice pear, though it doesn't seem to keep long.  Does anyone know anything about it???

Shinko                       

Korean Giant

Ayers                          bought tree this year

Warren                       bought tree 12 years ago and it finally bloomed just in time for the Big Easter Freeze

probably Kieffer           local source

Duchess                     one bud took this year

Duchess Bronzee       ditto

Magness                      one small branch

 

 

I'd like:

 

Mericourt - 1938 Tennessee introduction that sounds really good

Winter Nelis

Moonglow?   Is it really good? 

 

Thanks!    Donna
