They’re all different species!
European pears
Ya Li pears
Asian pears
Fragrant pears
Siberia Pears (Pyrus Ussuriensis) and European wild pears.
And those are just the species that produce fruit which is more than 4cm commonly known!

I’m really curios about a Ukrainian variety called Kitaisky Likhtarik. Possibly translates to “Chinese Lantern” or something similar?
The shape, color and reported disease resistance package all seem amazing.
Winter pear with attractive red fruits and resistance to fungal diseases and frost. Distinguished by high marketable quality, productivity and good fruits storability. Unpretentious to growing conditions. The fruits are suitable for long-term storage without loss of taste and quality of the fruits.
Crossing: Kyrgizskaya Zimnaya x Krymskaya Medovaya, Kyiv Horticultural Institute, Ukraine 2005, breeder N.V. Matviyenko
Vigour: weak to medium, spherical pyramid-shaped, spreading, medium dense canopy
Blossom: the flowers and young fruits are relatively resistant to late spring frosts. Cross-pollinate variety, for pollination needs another pear blooming at the same time.
Fruits: elliptical, large, 180 - 230 g, balanced in size. The skin is very firm, smooth, shiny, green with a red cheek on the sunny side when ripe for harvesting, straw yellow with a red tint on most of the fruit surface when ripe for consumption.
Pulp: creamy white, juicy, crunchy, sweet-sour with a delicate aroma
Taste: delicious, refreshing
Harvest season: harvest maturity at the end of September, consumption maturity November to December, refrigerated storage is possible until March
Yield: early yield onset, already in the 3rd - 4th year after planting. The 7-year-old tree achieves a yield of 47-56 t/ha.
Frost resistance: very good
Disease resistance: low sensitivity to fire blight (Erwinia amylovora), scab (Venturia pyrina) and pear rust (Gymnosporangium sabinae). Suitable for organic or no-spray culture.
To create the third variety of winter ripening period “Chinese Lantern”, plant breeders used varieties that have natural genetic resistance not only to fungal diseases but also to bacteriosis, which only East Asian varieties have.
“A very promising variety with high yields. Now it is undergoing a qualification examination and will be included in the State Register of Plant Varieties of Ukraine this year,” the scientist noted.

This Ukrainian pear has everything to please: beautiful fruits with a very good taste and above-average resistance to diseases. You can pick them from the end of September and keep them in the cellar for a long time until February. At first, it has a tangy taste and is green and red in color, but will become increasingly sweet and yellow. Its shape is atypical: almost oval, without a marked neck. This is a pear tree that performs just as well in cold climates as it does in the south of France. The flowers and young fruits are quite resistant to late frosts. The tree, of average growth, is more resistant to rust, bacterial fire and fungi than many other varieties.

Kitaisky Likhtarik This is most likely the Kyrgyz Winter pear. In addition, the three photos above show different pears, which of course should be alarming. Kirghiz Winter is productive and winter-hardy, but the taste is for those who like crispy pears. From Ukraine I have excellent varieties in the photo: Victoria and Maslyannaya Ro. Productive and winter-hardy, but the taste is average. Better quality pears that you should pay attention to are Vyzhnitsa and Yablunivskaya. The most valuable pear according to taste is Vyzhnitsa.
