| Magness Pear - Pyrus communis X | Potomac Pear - Pyrus communis |
|---|---|
Easy to care for and disease-resistant. Bears sweet perfumed fruit picked around August 26th in VA. Its buttery melting flavor rivals any pear. Has a similar flavor to Comice. Comice is very susceptible to fire blight. I love those Comices to pieces but would not grow one, as it would surely die from fire blight in our area of Virginia. Magness grows well in areas such as MS and LA and is hardy in MI.It is Very fire blight resistant. Space dwarf 8'- 10'circle or standard 15-20'circle. Can be pollinated by European or the Asian varieties, but will NOT pollinate others. Zones 5-9.

| Honeysweet Pear - Pyrus communis X | Warren Pear - pyrus communus x |
Honeysweet was introduced from Purdue University because of its superior attributes for flavor, appearance, and disease resistance. This is a very high quality "Seckel or sugar-pear" type, which is larger in size than Seckel, and one of the few pears that are self pollinating. Tree is similar to Seckel (a natural dwarf). Ripens late August here, with good storage ability. If you have room for only one pear tree, this is it. More fire blight resistant than Seckel and fruit is larger. Resists leaf spot problems and has the fireblight resistance similar to Keiffer pear. Introduced by Jules Janick from Perdue in 1977. Space @ 10-12' circle Zone 5 - 8.

Warren Pear was named after T O Warren from Hattiesburg, MS. Thought to be a seedling selection from the breeding work of USDA's fruit breeder Dr. Magness, Beltsville,MD. Fruits are buttery and smooth with no grit towards the center of the fruit. T O, a fruit explorer, found the tree at a pear test plot near his home and popularized the variety. Warren pear comes from the same seed stock as Magness pear and is very similar in appearance and disease resistance. However, it is self fertile and pollinates other pears. Chilling requirement 600 hours. Zone 5-9 semi dwarf tree space @ 10' circles.
