Q: I bought a Bartlett pear at a nursery. Research shows it's not recommended for Georgia. Why?
'Bartlett' isn't recommended because it gets fire blight so readily. Fire blight is uncurable. Only homeowner treatment: prune out blackened branch tips. 'Orient', 'Baldwin', 'Carrick', 'Kieffer', 'Warren' are much more resistant. UGA has a nice guide at bit.ly/UGApear.
