Identify Pear

17 years ago

I purchased a pear tree from a local nursery that has a reputation for mislabeling. The tree was very cheap (70%) off. It was labeled as a "sugar" pear. I assumed it was a seckel. It fruited this year and the pears were obviously not seckel. The fruits were two different shapes. Some limbs bore fruit that were round like an asian pear and other limbs were shaped oblong like a potato. Taste was fair, not gritty, but not too rich or sweet. Any idea what pear it could be with the different shaped fruit? I will keep the tree because it blooms at the same time and pollinates my Akers Home pear tree.
