Pears with a Mission
Jesuit missionaries
seeded pear trees deep in
southwestern Ontario in
the early 1700s. "French
Mission" pears planted
along the shores of Lake
St. Clair, Lake Erie and
the Detroit River blazed
the settlement trails and
fed the first pioneers.
A few of the original
trees may survive. but
their offspring are a valu-
able source of genetic
material for winter hardi-
ness, vigor, productivity
and disease resistance.
John Warner with the
Canadian Clonal
Genebank Program at the
Greenhouse and
Processing Crops
Research Centre of
Agriculture and Agri -Food
Canada in Harrow, is on a
mission w locate French
Mission pear trees older
than 100 years to protect
and preserve their genetic
diversity. Improvements to
present-day pears may be
made by incorporating the
valuable traits of the
ancient trees into new
varieties.
