Pears with a reference in the literature to being compatible
with quince rootstocks have [Q] beside them.
Vigor of the variety is expressed as a value from V1 - V3.
People multi-grafting trees should try to only have all
varieties of the same value on the same tree.
Flowering times are expressed as F1-F5 (t means triploid or
male sterile) and there is a desperate need for more
information.
U or S refer to the growth habit of the variety. U being
upright and S being spreading. Best results with
multi-grafting may be best achieved if all varieties were
either U or S. Upright varieties are suited to espaliering
and spreading varieties may not be.
Pears with a high winter chill requirement have Hc, a medium
chill requirement Mc and low chill requirement Lc.
