I am planning on planting some bradford pear for pear rootstock here near Houston, TX. I assume that this is a good idea since bradford is a selection of callary pear, the preferred fire blight resistant rootstock for the south. A neighbor's tree has some fruit. It is getting juicy now but the pulp is still adhering to the pit.
Is now the time to plant the seeds or wait longer?
Is this a good rootstock for my area?
How to prepare the seeds for planting?
Plant now or in the spring?
