Due to fire blight and related cultural problems, the growing of pears with acceptable fruit size in Michigan is difficult. The major variety in commercial production is the 'Bartlett'. However, due to the low vigor of trees to avoid blight, inadequate size has caused concern of both growers and processors. Furthermore, since 'Bartlett' does not keep long after harvest (it must be processed or marketed fresh within a month), there is a need for another variety with improved fruit and tree characteristics to supplement the 'Bartlett' variety.
