A seedling found in a field at the Acres Home subdivision in Houston, Texas. It is a beautiful, large pear, with a red blush. Fairly good quality, precocious, total fire blight resistance, heavy bearer, spreading shape. -- Ethan Natelson, Houston, Texas, 2003. This pear is being sold around Houston, and appears to be well suited for Southeast Texas. It is named after an African American enclave in Houston where for many years country living went on within city limits. Many inhabitants of Acres Homes kept livestock in their yards and gardened on their acre sized lots. The pedigree of this pear is unknown, but was likely grown from seed. Said to be a great pear and excellent for the area and possibly all along the gulf coast. -- Justin Duncan, Prairie View, Texas, 09/2011.
