Clark, if you have the same wood Tony and I had it was some sort of mix-up: it was just a regular type pear. I think I got it directly from ARS.

@PharmerDrewee, @scottsmith, Clark.

My Yali tasted very good this year. Very sharp crunch, juicy, and agreeable sweetness when the fruits are in the yellowish stage with a light red blush. It’s similar to Fragrant pear texture, juciness but not the fragrance. Andrew, the Fragrant pear from the store so far non of Us were able to get the Scion wood yet but but I got a scionwood seedling from Scott Smith and it grew well but not fruited yet. I also got a scionwood of the Yulu Fragrant pear from Derby this Spring and it grew well also. Hopefully in a few years these two will produce s fruit similar to the store bought Fragrant pear.

It’s too bad they don’t grow true from seed or I’d be planting all the seeds from the pears I eat to grow some of those wonderful fragrant pears!

Scott,
It likely was the same wood. Once it produces I will post a photo of the pear.

I missed this thread somehow, my “lanti” will probably fruit this year. I thought it odd that it did not grow like other Asian pears but it makes more sense now, sigh…

Very nice. So far I only have a seedling of it from Scott’s scion and a Yulu fragrant pear from Sophia’s scionwood.

how do we know which variety of pears need storage before eating? or eat ripe from tree? im hoping to learn more. thank you!

I think all the Fragrant pears are supposed to be stored until March or so. That is one reason why they were popular, they come to the stores in the middle of winter when there traditionally was not much fresh fruit.
