Concorde® Pear
U.S. PLANT PATENT (PP 9192)
|
|
|
Offered under a special license agreement with TRECOŽ. Large, uniform
green fruit with striking lenticels. Originated in England. Tender and
juicy with very good flavor. Moderately sensitive to bruising and stores
well until the end of April.
C&O Nursery's Pear trees are grown on Old Home x Farmingdale rootstock.
O. H. x F. rootstocks are hardy, well-anchored, and productive. They are
a unique rootstock which imparts a size controlling characteristic
similar to the Malling understock with apples. O.H.x F. #97 produces
a tree about the same size as Bartlett root. O.H.x F. #87 (USPP #6362)
is slightly smaller. Observations covering 50 pear orchards in the Yakima
Valley, Washington, over a five-year period indicated that trees showed
resistance to pear decline and fire blight.
