Seasons greetings!
I am finally getting some perry pears and am not sure how to deal with
them. Both Gin and Butt on seedling rootstock (yes, it's been maybe 20
years!). Brix is good at 16+ but the flesh goes brown way too soon.
Anyone here have direct xperience making perry with these heirloom pears?
As far as apples, my best variety for the last several years is Dabinette;
annual yield, no fire blight and big fruit that hangs well.
Also good was my one tree of honey cider with Brix at 19 and some nice
watercore.
