0PI 541188'Farmingdale'Pyrus communis L. Illinois, United StatesCORFRUITNot Available1981DEVELOPEDPRE 1915CultivarDiscussed in considerable detail by Reimer (1950) in Oregon Agricultural Experiment Station Bulletins 214 and 485. Also in Proceedings of APS, 1930. Apparently a pure form of P. communis which originated as a chance seedling with Benjamin Buckman, at Farmingdale, Illinois. Fruit size medium to large and resembles Beurre d'Anjou in form and coloration. Flesh white, fairly fine, buttery, moderately juicy, quite free of grit. Reasonably sweet but lacking in desirable flavor characteristics. Midseason.

While this pear is of little value for its fruit, it is quite remarkable in other characteristics. Its tree is vigorous, well formed, fairly productive, and is the most blight resistant of all the P. communis cultivars tested at the Southern Oregon Branch Experiment Station. The tests established this cultivar to be valuable as blight resistant trunk stock and as a source of blight resistant seedlings. For example, a cross of Old Home and Farmingdale has consistently produced a high percentage of blight resistant seedlings with good vigor and of uniform growth habits. -- H. Hartman 1959

This is one parent of the many Old Home x Farmingdald (OHxF) rootstock selections.
