The pears you may not have heard of and should consider growing

I’m growing some seedling jujubes and a friend did give me seed as well. The pawpaw look great but they have been growing slowly. No tip die back this year so I can’t complain. About 1 in 4 pawpaw lived through the first winter because of the cold. The pawpaw remaining are cold tolerant. I have a bag of pawpaw seeds I will soon be planting. Sounds like a great method for cuttings it is exactly what I would do. Have you seen any Atago scions around Tony? I’ve wanted to grow it since it’s the current world record holder. “11 NOVEMBER 2011
The heaviest pear was 2.948 kg (6 lb 8 oz) and was grown by JA Aichi Toyota Nashi Bukai (Japan) and presented at the JA Aichi Toyota main office in Toyota, Aichi, Japan on 11 November 2011. The pear was an atago pear. This variety is the biggest pear in Japan and it is original from the Okayama prefecture.”- guiness book of world records
