Alligator pear promises new Sumter county crop potential
Sumter county farmers plant thousands of acres of a new non blight pear variety. Nurseries have already ordered stock and a leading American entrepreneur plans a 75 acre start. Experts compare it to the Keifer but note better eating quality, earlier ripening, and lower sugar needs for canning. Trees bear in four years with potential yields rising over time.
