No FB on Ya Li here, and it’s been growing in my orchard since about 1998.
FB has taken Korean Giant on 2 separate occasions, as well as Summercrisp pear and Esopus Spitzenburg apple during that time frame.

Bring back this thread to ask a question about Yali, this tree is reaching for the sky, I wonder if it’s worth to plant it in the ground, right now I have it in container which makes it even taller.
Believe it or not, when I go to a Korean supermarket, the Yali pear is always empty, and the lychee fruit is not, there seems to be a preference for Yali pear around here. So that’s what I’m doing, take out the lychee tree and grow Yali pear instead. I’m debating whether I should espalier this pear since it tends to reach for the sky.

As for as I know, most Yali sold in Asian market were imported from China. It’s possible they are waiting for next shipload of fruits to arrive.
If you like light, juicy tasting pear, Yali is a good pear to have. It can be stored for long time. Another pear that is similar to yali is Paili. Paili is sweeter

They don’t sell them all the time, but when they do have it, and next to the Lychee sign, the Yali pears were gone, but the Lychee were still there.
Same with Korean Giant, I never seen them out of KG when they are in season. I think on this site KG is more favorable than Yali pear but I don’t see that in real life.
