Has anyone heard of the Jesuit Pears that grow in Detroit, MI and Windsor
Ontario or similar places?  Does anyone have any information about the
location of these trees, grafting them, flavor and uses, or any other
useful information?  Slow Food is considering adding them to the Ark of
Taste.

And that page links to this and some of the other pages out there:
