Re: FW: The Coming Plague of Pears

**Graham Rice garden@tiscali.co.uk>**

Does anyone know if the other cultivars of Pyrus calleryana suffer 
from the same problem as 'Bradford'? 'Chanticleer' is the one usually 
grown in Britain, but is more upright in habit so may suffer more 
seriously from the same problem. There are also 'Autumn Blaze', 
'Redspire' and Trinity'.
