Two big challenges growing tree fruit at high elevations.
Blossom freeze and limited heat units.
Don't know of pears varieties that ripen in 64 days.
For what mileage would cost you driving to/from the mountain site you could
probably buy pears for less money, especially wholesale.

Tim! I'm very interested in your experiences with fireblight and perry
pears. I'm interested in attempting some grafts, but as I'm in Central
Texas, fireblight is prevalent and the Corvallis Pyrus catalog is generally
silent on perry pear disease resistance beyond scab. I know chill hours
are another issue for me (which, again, Corvallis is generally silent on
with regard to perry pears) but hey, I gotta start somewhere.
Sincerely,
Jayme Blaschke

I'm looking for recommendations for yeast strains used on the commercial
scale. I am trying to solve a problem I have with excessive sulfur
production when I bump up the scale of my ferments to 500+ gals. (Assuming
increased hydrostatic pressure is stressing the yeast). Anyone have a solid
dry yeast variety that they have had success with on the larger scale?
