Bartlett Pear Rootstock/Size:OHxF 87 Semi-Dwarf: 4-5 ft. 1 Year OlderThe most widely grown pear in the world, Bartlett doesnt need much of an introduction. Its taste has stood the test of timeand its trees have too, at least sometimes. One Bartlett reportedly withstood 41F in Minnesota, although we think that may have been an anomaly (maybe due to this tree's deep soils and perhaps good airflow). Weve also seen Bartlett perish in its second year after hitting 38F in Fortine, MT on 1 13 24. Flavor, History & Growth
Alice Sharp is a chance seedling discovered in Illinois
Honeoye has arguably been the best-performing strawberry we've observed across all of Montana
Morden 604 is one of the earliest and most notable improved
The fruit is medium-sized and best eaten when crisp
and it’s typically treated as a fresh-eating apple first and foremost
Self-Fertility and Pollination Benefits
This is Bruce Benson’s favorite apple—and for good reason
Not much to say on flavor because most horseradish we have tried tastes the same
They’re an important food source for birds like dunnocks
Carroll was better than Mantet (possibly because of our drought)
none of which survived in our trials
and early picking can result in excessive sharpness
