Stefan Sobkowiak grows succesfully Conférence in Montérégie region of Quebec (probably USDA zone 4). They are said to be very delicious. They also look gorgeous ! I would plant one if I wasn’t afraid to lose it to fireblight. I am still looking for a good pear to grow. I read all your comments and thought about it for a while. I am leaning toward a russian pear, like Krasnobokaya. I would also love to find some canadian scion wood for Ichiban nashi or Shinsui, as they are said to be the first asian pears to ripen.
