I’ve had Kosui from a local orchard which were by far some of the best eating Asian pears I’ve enjoyed, great variety for sure

Yes just remind me. Sometimes my health does not cooperate but if it does and time permits I have lots of scions normally.

I was reading that Kosui is supposedly fireblight resistant.
Has that been the case for you all?

Heavy with blooms again. Maybe next year I I’ll get enough scions to multiply these into a row of kosui pears and to be able to share a bunch of scions! This winter my health was not great but a couple of people caught me at the right time. Let’s see how they taste again this year.

Hope kosui is getting spread around by now its a good pear.
I have two Kosui trees and both have had fireblight strikes. I don’t have enough experience with other varieties to say whether it is more or less susceptible.

Had multiple fireblight strikes on these trees last year. Will keep growing them for now because they are delicious. Lets see if last year was just a heavy fireblight year.

People occasionally ask my strategy on newer varities to my orchard like kosui im not that experienced with. The 3 feet or more trunk of the trees i grow is always a resistant rootstock. In this way if it is necessay to graft the trees over the trees will be back in production in 2 or 3 years. I learned long ago it is harder to grow trunk and roots than tops of trees. If Kosui continues to be prone to fireblight i will replace it quickly.

What flowering group number would you say that this variety falls in to?
