Narrative
'Higdon' and 'Quave' are pears supplied by Mr.Lee Sharp of Ocean Springs, Mississippi. They were obtained from Mrs. Jake Quave (now long deceased, and the tree bulldozed) and Mr. Paul Higdon (still living and with his tree). They were propagated many years ago by a now defunct nursery in the local area. Mr. Sharp likes the size and quality; mine have set pears already this season with a very low chill winter. They appear to be fireblight-resistant. Ethan Natelson, March 14,1999.
