Expert Response
I have attached a list of fire blight disease resistant pear varieties adapted to Michigan, listed in order of ripening. For your harvest window, I would pick varieties Harrow Sweet or later. You will need two varieties in order to get successful pollination. Harrow Sweet and Kieffer might be a good combination.
