i have read on forums here that OHxF 333 doesn't yield very well on pear trees. does this apply everywhere in the us? 333 was the least vigorous rootstock i could find for Seckel and Comice.

I plan on getting some for next year. I've heard that the fruit is little smaller. As far as quantity, I think any pear tree can produce more than anyone can handle for personal use. Will you be supplying a large number of people?

I was just reading in a propagation book about some scions affecting the vigor of root stocks.It said if the scion is a particularly vigorous variety,that could make the root stock grow more than normal.
I'm not sure if this will happen in your situation though. Brady

I've been disappointed in ohf333 here

Its been fine for me -- very productive, no fruit size issues that I noticed. I have heard quite a few reports from hotter places that it doesn't do well, so I may be toward the southern end of where it is viable.
