We have had a number of pears (Warren, Moonglow, Seckel, Atlantic Queen,
Comice). Comice by far has been the most vigorous and is fairly resistant to
fireblight. We just planted another variety (a Stark named pear, can't
remember the exact name), this fall so will see how it does. Seckel died in
our clay soil, the others save Comice have been slow growers, but no
fireblight.
