We call Chicago the windy city which you may be familiar with. It lives up to its many reputations and a very cold windy winter is one thing its known for. The praries in Canada are known for legendary difficult conditions at times with harsh cold so fortunately your not in zone 2 or 3 Canada. Your in a warmer , less windy more peaceful climate. The last i knew you were in more like zone 4. Zone 5 conditions are really about as cold as most asian pears can handle. There are a few i believe that are better at adapting to those conditions you have and could make it. Asian Pear Trees – Tagged "Cold Hardiness Zone 4"– Online Orchards
