Heard good things about jojiro. Is there any Warren, magness or Comice of the asian pear world?

Have you seen this thread?

The best Asian Pears.

A few things come to mine:

  • Taste is subjective, sometimes very subjective
  • Locations make a difference, sometimes, a big difference
  • ā€œBestā€based on what definition? Tasting, disease resistance, over all performance, etc.

Like the thread I linked, you will get a lot of different opinions.

Like I mentioned, different location likely will produce different outcome of the same pear.

I am in New England. Korean Giant and Hosui are plenty sweet. However, I like Kosui a tad more because of its lighter twxture.

I have not tried Drippinā€™ Honey but heard that it is sweet/tart. Chojuro is another one that a lot of people like. Mine has not produced.

That guy bought a 3 in 1 tree with Hosui, ā€˜Shinseikiā€™, and ā€˜20th Centuryā€™ on it, from Willis Orchard, they threw in a 4th variety on the same tree, and that had to be ā€˜Chojuroā€™, see what they carry here https://www.willisorchards.com/category/asian-pear-trees
