| Seanox: Quote from "The Backyard Orchardist" by Stella Otto "Most Asian Pears require cross pollination. Either another Asian pear or a domestic variety is suitable as a pollen source as long as their bloom periods coincide" That you know already However, she does NOT say that Asians will pollinate domestic pears, but one would think that pollination would happen both ways. I grow only domestic pears (Lucious, Clapps Favorite and Cabot) so I don't have any advice other than to give it a try. |
