Comment: Tree has a strange spreading habit rather than an upright growth habit. The fruit of the pear are ripe only one day and then they go bad so that the fruit are not long term marketable. But in that everyone is looking for dwarfing rootstock for pear, this particular form might be useful and for pear culture in general.
