Drippin Honey Asian pear

[MSchiedow]

I purchased a combo Drippin Honey/Chojuro Asian pear tree from Gurney’s last year. When I received the tree it is not labeled which part of the tree is Drippin honey or chojuro. Is there any way to tell which variety is which at this point or will I have to wait until it hopefully fruits in a few years. Also, I did call gurney’s and asked and they said those trees are not labeled and that they have no way of knowing. Also, if anyone knows where I can purchase a Drippin Honey tree, other than gurney’s, please let me know.

Everywhere seems sold out right now, this is the only other place I know of that sells trees of it Drippin' Honey Pear | Shop Fruit Trees | Spring Hill

And this place sells cuttings of it for grafting, also sold out of it Asian Pear Scionwood : Dripping Honey Asian Pear Scionwood

The difference is pretty distinguished. Drippin Honey looks like this

Drippin' Honey Asian Pear aka honey asian

The flavor of Drippin’ Honey Asian Pear was good last year but this year is incredible. It’s hard to believe the fruit could be as good as these are! Highly recommend them because of the size , flavor , and they are moderately easy to grow. [image] [image]

Chojuro looks like this

Chojuro Asian pears

These Chojuro Asian pears are belong at the top among the best Asian pears. Nice russet color, real sweet with caramel flavor. Somewhat early like the Drippin Honey. Tony [image]

Here is a nice photo @ztom took of chojuro

Here is a nice photo of drippin Honey i took

You will notice the leaves of drippin honey come to more of a point. That is the easiest way to tell the difference. There are many differences. I would buy the asian pear you want from @39thparallel it is called honey asian . The difference is the name like cripps pink apples are really pink lady apples. Patents expire but trademarked names never do.
