Abstract

An active pear breeding program was located at the University of Tennessee from 1925 to the mid 1960s. The objectives of the program were to develop pear cultivars with resistance to fireblight and with acceptable fruit quality. From 1945 to 1966, the program released ‘Orient’, ‘Ayers’, ‘Dabney’, ‘Mooers’, ‘Hoskins’, ‘Carrick’, ‘Morgan’, and ‘Mericourt.’
