[Lekooks] Pears

[Bev B.]

>Gerry,

Although I can't answer your question, I DO have a piece of advice ~~ 
contact the U.W. extension office for expert suggestions. They 
regularly have people on WPR answering lawn and garden questions, and 
I'd be willing to bet that they have someone who can answer yours.
