That's interesting. Do you know what the name of the pear was? Do you know what the non-pear organism was that was transferred into the pear? Where was this? Thanks.

How could I forget... Bradford Pear Below is the first link that popped up in google. Not sure on the organism but saw mention of one in here.

So a Bradford Pear is not a GMO plant, though. So that's what I'm confused about. The Bradford Pear is a mess of a plant, that's for sure. It stinks bad when it flowers, it wasn't supposed to fruit but it does, and now it is spreading like a weed. The one good thing is that people can graft other pears to it. But they aren't a GMO.
