looks like they're patented varieties and most likely will only go to their licensed orchards.

It'll likely take awhile before scions from these trees start "appearing" in scion exchanges. Canadians have had access to Russian pears for quite awhile, but they are still nearly impossible to find in the States.

There are others out there as well, but they're tougher to find. Southworth Vermont Beauty Cabot Vermont Nova Patten Luscious Hudar Stacyville Summercrisp There are more, but those ^^^ are the ones that come to mind |

Cabot Vermont is zone 4a now but, back in the 1970s it was zone 3ab for sure. One of the colder places in Vermont.
