I don't consider miller nurseries a very serious place. Their
specification on fruit trees are lacking important details
such as rootstock type and specific variety type information. A better
source would be Raintree in Washington state,
where they give you all the detailed info you need, not just general
terms like 'dwarf' tree. Sadly, what most consumers
don't check is the actual dwarfing rootstock type. There is lots of
variation in size within the dwarf and semi-dwarf arena,
and there is lots of information about that to be found on the web, or
in books.
Some fruit tree types are naturally more resistant to pests. Pears are
less vulnerable than apples to such attacks. Within
apples, there are varieties like William's Pride, Liberty, etc., which
display some natural resistance to fungus. There is
no apple variety I know of that is inherently resistant to insects.
These resistant types are decent tasting apples, but I don't
think they are the very best in flavor. The only fruit tree with
inherent resistance to insects is the Paw Paw, a native American
variety. The only insect that can tolerate getting near it are flies,
which do the job of pollination and do not attack the fruit.

unless that place has new ownership I would never consider it a "serious" place.
they graft trees without regard to compatibility issues so 3 years after
planting the
tree suddenly dies. Nothing I ever bought from them is still alive.
try Bay Laurel Nurseries http://www.baylaurelnursery.com/index.html
OR Raintree http://www.raintreenursery.com/
Ingrid
I'd consult a reliable nursery, such as www.millernurseries.com. Very serious
place.
