The performance of 3 cultivars of pear ( Pyrus communisL.) on rootstocks of Quince A, C and pear seedlings was studied over a 16 year period in a trial planted at distances 5 x 3 m. Pear trees were trained as compact free standing hedgerow crowns. The planting was subjected to severely cold 3 winters during which the temperature reached -30 to -32°C. Tree survival was higher on the two quince rootstocks in comparison with pear seedling rootstock. The anchorage of trees on quince rootstocks did not prevent leaning of the trees but the trees did not appear to affect growth and tree fruiting. Rootstocks of Quince A and C increased an orchard yield by 8-14 and 14-27% respectively. Fruit quality did not differ greatly.
