I thinned my pears quite well this year. Both 20th Century and Hosui were well thinned and weigh about 5.0 -6.0 oz.
Hosui is sweeter with brix at 15. Flesh is soft, melting.
20th Century is milder at around 12-13 brix. Flesh is crunchy and juicier.
Since I like crunchy A pears, I prefer 20th C over Hosui.
I also thinned Korean Giant well. I see some of them getting closer to a lb on the tree. Hopefully, Squirrels would not get to them before I could. KG is a late pear. I pick them in Oct.
