» Barbara Bell - The Oldest Pear Tree in the US
Several years ago I worked at the headquarters of the Sylvania Lighting Co., in Danvers, Massachusetts. In the field beyond our parking lot, stood a pear tree enclosed in a fence. I was told it was the oldest pear tree in the United States.It was planted by Governor Endicott from seeds brought from England, in the 1600s. If you'd like to read more about it, here is an article from the Danvers Historical Society.
