I just noticed some pear shaped greenies on my Snow White plant! Drat! I really wanted to try this variety, and whatever will the dwarfs think?

Linda, I have some snow white seeds drying. They are true. Should be ready to share in a couple weeks.
I was looking at a variety a few weeks ago called, "Green Pear" I don't remember which catalog I saw them in though. |

Too funny Bower
![]() Thanks for thinking of me Robert, but I already have seeds covered for next year. I'm hoping the greenies will change color when they grow, but to what??? Linda |

... didn't think I would be the only one to grow Snow White and seven dwarfs in one little garden plot...
If the green pears don't change colour - perhaps Grinch Cherry?

I don't think I'm going to be very happy if they are Yellow Pear OR Grinch Cherry....

http://tatianastomatobase.com/wiki/C...:Pear_Tomatoes Several on Tania's list of pears and Robert, Green Pear is there. So is Grinch Cherry, which Tania describes as cherry/pear, so I didn't link to it and not much info anyway. Nowhere do I see Emerald Pear, which I got from Reinhard two years ago, seed production didn't work out last summer, so it's out for seed production again this summer. I think. ![]() ![]() But IMO if the mature fruits are green and you got what you have in a large seed trade, as you said, there's absolutely no way that you can conclusively make an identification, simply b/c there are too many small green pears out there. ![]() Carolyn
