Fireblight is so crazy. Goes to show how important your individual micro environment is. Even in this regional thread there are vast differences in disease and pest resistance.

I’ve been scouring the forum and regional extensions for information. The only resistant Asian pear that everyone seems to agree on is Shinko. Unfortunately it seems to be rather polarizing on flavor. I think that has to do with individual tastes and terroir. It appears to taste better to the southern growers.

For those interested @marten did a fantastic breakdown of his experiences with Asian pears. :point_down:
