I don't know its range, but it sets a heavy crop of large firm pears every
year in Houston. The fruit varies a fair amount in shape but are all hard
with faint sweetness. It is fairly immune to fireblight which when present
only moves a few inches down the spur. If you have goats or deer, they would
appreciate it.
