“Li” is transliterated from Chinese. “Ri” borrowed from Chinese to Korean and then transliterated from Korean to English and shouldn’t sound like an English “R”, but rather slightly rolled and intermediate between and “L” and “R”. Technically the pear should just be called the Seu pear. Seuri Li = Seu Pear Pear.

I purchased some scion wood and grafted what was supposed to be Seuri Asian Pear. Does this look like Seuri to those that have grown this variety? I just thought the browny/orangish hue of the graft’s leaves was a little strange.

I don’t have Seuri, but some baby Asian pear leaves are just straight up redish. I have some pictures of one such Dasui Li.
