(Dan Bae or Olympic) The vigorous winter hardy tree produces at a young age and bears a heavy crop of large, round olive green fruit that can weigh up to a pound each. The fruit can be kept in unrefrigerated storage until March. This highly touted pear blooms early in the season and ripens in mid-October. It is very crisp and juicy with a high sugar content. Does well in most of the nation but can ripen too late in maritime summer climates.
We love the rich distinctive aromatic flavor of this prolific traditional Japanese favorite. Sometimes called "Old World", the fruit is of good size and has brown russetted skin. Fruit ripens in mid September and keeps until March.
An attractive brown skinned large fruit with a mellow butterscotch flavor and fine texture. The tree is productive and fruit ripens early, just before Shinseiki. Among the best at the Mt. Vernon station. Somewhat resistant to pseudomonas infection.

This russeted selection is one of the best tasting. It is a realiable bearer of medium to large delicious fruit. However, in the wettest climates like Western Washington, it is susceptible to Pseudomonas. A great choice in much of the nation.
Enjoy big crops of orange/brown skinned, oval shaped fruit that look like a European pear. The huge fruit is very crisp and crunchy, with an excellent flavor. Ripens in late September.
Among the sweetest of the Asian pears and the first to ripen. The upright vigorous tree is a heavy producer of medium sized orange russetted fruit. One of the best at Raintree.
The flesh of this large apple shaped fruit is perfumy, juicy and refreshing. The skin is a beautiful caramel color. It should be peeled to enjoy the crisp, sweet flesh. The tree is productive and an excellent backyard growers choice.
