I thought that was my Mishirazu. Nope. It’s my Nijiseikki.

Sorry for that, everyone. It appears to be on track, correct. Thank you, again.

One thing is drippin honey has light russeting much of the time Dripping Honey . @Auburn will be planting another tree by next year i think if the taste is as good as it is here. Hopefully they do as well in your climate as they do in ours. Many people report they are the best asian pear they have had. All pears have things about them that are not good as well. In certain climates drippin honey can crack sometimes. Its done it here before but it happens very seldom. Here comes the 2019 pear harvest! - #18 by clarkinks

I have 20th Century (Nijiseiki) for 10 years. The shape of the pears in your pic does not look quite like 20th.

The pic of 20 C pears in this link looks exactly like my 20th C, both the greenish one and the yellow one.

Dax, my grafted Mishirasu branch died. I don’t have this cultivar anymore. But I recall the fruit was round, similar to the ones on your picture. I highly suspecte the one I had was not the real Mishirasu.
