Subject: [nafex] Name that pear
Date: Sun, 13 May 2001 21:34:55 -0400
My father has fond memories of a small, hard, sweet pear that grew in
his yard in Boston 60 years ago. Any guesses what it might have been?
Also, can bearing age pears be purchased and successfully transplanted?
We're thinking of planting a pear in his yard, but saplings take ages to
bear, and he's old enough that time is worth more than money.
