Hello Richard. Not much, i see it specialy on Rocha pear trees. But just a bit.
Luis, you need to get busy and graft a bunch of the varieties from China. Some of the descriptions are… tantalizing! Get a copy of Pear Varieties in China and you will see what I mean.
Your yulu is underripe. Quality should be the same as or even better than Akizuki. However both are difficult to grow.
Just confirming that Dangshan Suli from Santiam is real. It’s an old variety but very good quality.
As i told you, this are first fruits of grafted scions so its normal that first fruits are small or below max quality, but they are not difficult to grow here.
I have Dangshan Crisp pear tree too.
Wow. Would you expect larger fruit from a mature tree?
Hello Richard! Yes. I already have good size pears of this variety but you can see this video for a better idea.
Just curiosity, but with the number of varieties you have tasted so far Luis, which five would you say are the best of the best?
