Old Home Pear Scionwood

Old Home Pear Scionwood

History: The 'Old Home' pear (Pyrus communis) is an Illinois-native cultivar discovered in the early 20th century, renowned for its exceptional fire blight resistance and widely used in developing the common OHxF (Old Home x Farmingdale) rootstock series. Identified by F.E. Reimer around 1915, it became a staple in North American pear production for grafting. 

Why We Grow It: Old Home is a great option for interstem grafting between dwarf rootstocks such as Provence Quince, which are incompatible with some pears, such as Bartlett.
