It is likely the foliage and other things will give it away much sooner. We will all be waiting to find out.

Some chinese sellers are offering Pysanka under the name âyellow green stripe pearâ, so I wouldnât be surprised Ju Hong is sold as ârainbow pearâ or âearly red stripe pearâ.
But only time will tell

Maybe @tonyOmahaz5 can clarify what that variety is. It came up on the reddy robin pear thread. Reddy Robin Asian Pear . They are seperate pears ofcourse.

Reddy Robin is an interesting hybrid, I am still waiting for it to fruit.

I discussed it with a friend. He also caught Raimbow this year and he also has other yellow red striped Asian varieties. He has the Zao Su red striped. It confirms this variety and other news.

The shape is different and the red is very faded.
In the interesting hybrids with red leaves identical to Ju Hong, there is Piqa Boo.
Piqa booâs growth is much better than Ju Hong who I find weak.

So whatâs the main diferences between Zaosu Red and Ju Hong?
The rainbow pear is the Zaosu Red?
Thanks!

I will tell you when I have the fruits of the 2 varieties. Iâll ask my boyfriend for the Zao Su red striped later. Its tree produces fruits identical to the photo of the Early crisp. For me the name Early crisp is associated with the sale of seeds of the Zao Su red striped fruit. It only engages me. But for me Early crisp does not exist.
The Raimbow is perhaps a mutation of Zao Su red, it is especially more felt.

So Zao Su red is different from Ju Hong right?

I made some pears that arrived yesterday.
Letâs get back to the subject. There is the Granatbirne and the Bloodbirne Roll.
Tonight Iâm sorting out the pears to make redflesh that are in the fridge.

I was in Ukraine, and since the coup in 2014, US businesses have bought up (at ridiculous prices due to the collapse of government, economy, and law) most of the countryâs farmland and all that wonderful agricultural diversity quickly started disappearing.
I expect that this is a Monsanto goal to eliminate heirlooms and diversity.

Are you dipping your grafts in wax? Wonât that flow into the graft union and prevent healing?
Yes, I have been diving directly into wax for 30 years. No problem. The wax freezes quickly without entering the wound.
Mosanto keeps genetics for its research, so beauty doesnât disappear completely. He will need it afterwards⌠But he imposes his/her selections which allow this biodiversity to be destroyed. It is in this logic that advances to make profits. But it seems to me that Mosanto has been bought out. It must be part of the Bayer group. The whole GMO has done u harm to this company.

Not exactly red flesh pear but interesting nonetheless. My Piqa Boo is blooming for the 1st time.
Also grafted the Rainbow pear (picture is not mine, sent by a friend)

Is âPiqa Booâ an ornamental landscape tree, also? Flowerâs and leaves are stunning!

The pear in the picture is Ju Hong red striped pear, but itâs not Raimbow my friend. I did the grafting of the 2, we will see in the future. Raimbow has a slightly different and above all redder shape.
Raimbow wood, Piqa boo, Ju Hong, Korla fragant are similar.

I see, I was told by one Chinese person that itâs a rainbow pear, he was wrong then. Thanks for the correction
