ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a new and distinct variety of pear tree (Variety 40) which is useful as a size-controlling clonal pear rootstock. The new variety originated as a single seedling which was selected from a large group of pear seedlings which were grown from open-pollinated seed. This seed was harvested from Old Home pear trees (Pyrus communis) growing in an isolated planting with Farmingdale pollinizers.
Pear varieties grown on the understock of this new rootstock clone are approximately 65% of the size of like pear trees grown on Domestic Bartlett seedling rootstocks (Pyrus communis). This "dwarfing" selection can be easily increased by vegetative propagation methods; particularly by hard and softwood cuttings. It is graft-compatible with all major pear varieties. It was selected for its non-rootsuckering habit, its resistance to the Fireblight disease and its tolerance of the Pear Decline disease. It is hardy, early bearing, and has demonstrated good root-anchorage in all orchard sites where tested.
