A couple of weeks ago I went searching for the Mooers pear and was pleased
to see they carried it, till I noticed that it was named for Mooers NY where
it was discovered as a 200 year old tree. The Mooers pear I was looking for
was released by U of Tenn about 1945. I emailed them and they said they
didn't know the name was already taken, and would change it. If anyone got
that variety, best watch see what they change the name to and do the same to
yours. Donna
