    Hello!

    Small urban garden in Vancouver.
    Wanted to espalier a Pear tree along the back fence.
    Cross pollination considerations would imply that I need at least TWO trees though.

    My solution: dwarf stock (Quince C?) with two or more types of pears grafted in.

    Where could I find something like this in Vancouver??
    Anyone know of a nursery etc?

    Thank you!

    Gardenworks had some years ago, would think they could still order them, or most retail nurseries for that matter. One here is a semi-dwarf with 4 varieties - Seckel , Anjou, Bartlett, and another variety I've forgotten. Maybe more commonly seen in the valley, Minters {Chilliwack} is usually good for fruit trees, also.
