Asian Pears

Asian Pears are uniquely delicious, with the shape and crunchiness of an apple, and the russeted skin and flavor of a pear. They are very juicy. Some have a taste reminiscent of melon, others have a delicate spicy or cinnamon-like quality. The trees have an upright growth habit, attractive foliage that turns beautiful orange in the fall, and tolerate a wide range of soils. Very disease resistant and fairly trouble free. It is recommended to plant two varieties for pollination, though Bartlett will do the job as well. Grafted on Pyrus betulifolia rootstock, a standard rootstock that will grow 14-20 feet and is a longer lived tree.
