Canada releases a pear FOR THE FUTURE

摘要

Harovin Sundown may be an alternative for Bartlett growers who have lost their processed pear market. The closure of the sole processing plant for pears in Ontario, Canada, promises to boost interest in new pear varieties such as Harovin Sundown, thelatest selection from Canada's pear-breeding program. In Ontario, which claims about 70 percent of Canada's commercial pear orchards, Bartlett has long been the mainstay of both the fresh and the processing market. It represents about 60 percent of the acreage, followed by Bosc at about 25 percent.
