Importation

"was likely brought from England on the Arbella" Was brought as a dormant cutting? Pear seeds don't come true to the parent.--Wetman (talk) 16:26, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The sources are not entirely clear on this point.

Essex Institute: "having been brought from England in the Arabella"
Postman: "the tree came to Massachusetts from England on the ship Arbella"

My impression, based partly on this source, was that a seedling was brought from England. –Black Falcon ^(Talk) 17:12, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
