Red Asian pear grafted on Korean Asian pear

I dug up this 7 years old Korean Asian pear for the move last April. It struggled a bit and hung on it dear life due to my DeWalt sawzal chopping up all the big roots. This year it came back strong and very productive. Even a small Red Asian pear graft gave me a bundle of fruit. Yay!

Your red Asian pear looked like my Redlove Calypso apple fruitlets. I just thinned a lot off today.

Is that the Early Crispy red pear?

It is the Red Asian pear scion from Sophia that I shared on GF in the past 2 years.

I asked her about that. She said it was called Early Crispy. The chinese name is way to hard to pronounce.

Hi. You can call it rainbow pear or red ealy crisp pear…
Please can you show a pic of his leaves? Thanks!

I am not familiar with the Red Asian pear, but I know how Korean pears taste. They are among the best pears in the world, if not the best. I assume the Red pear is as good as the Korean one since you grafted on Korean pear.

Here are some leaf photos.

Older leaves on the fruit branch turned greenish color.

Here are the three grafts a month ago on callery rootstocks with more red color.
