Narrative
Shannon - This pear was grown for many years by Jake Tann, a farmer in the Albany/Tangent area of Linn County, Oregon. Mr. Tann sold fruit at several local farmer markets. The 'Shannon' pear was very popular and he had no trouble selling all that he could grow. It has been several years since Mr. Tann has offered fruit at the markets, and the Repository has been contacted on several occasions by individuals trying to locate sources of the 'Shannon' pear. Mr. Delbert McCombs obtained scionwood from Mr. Tann a number of years ago, and has been offering trees through his small nursery outside of Monroe, Oregon. He describes the pear as being late ripening, with a velvet smooth texture. -- J. Postman, 2004

The pear cultivar 'Grand Champion' is a russeted sport of 'Gorham.' 'Grand Champion' originated in the W.F. Shannon orchard in Hood River, Oregon, in 1936. Perhaps 'Shannon' is a synonym for 'Grand Champion'? -- J. Postman Feb.2004.
