Asian Pears in Germany, You BET.

3 Attachment(s)

I planted 3 asian pear trees (two year olds) when I bought my house in 2000. Needless to say they like their location and 20 deg F. temps in the winter havn't bothered them. Good rootstock I assume. Ami

Those look good! What zone would you be in using the US standards? We can grow some cold varieties of apples but the taste of some is not really good, kinda pithy. I don't grow any but my friend does. Crab apples do real well here.

I grow 6 Asian Pears in the Puget Sound Area of Washington State. If your interested go online to burntridgenursery.com
Mike Dolan has a large assortment and I'm sure he has some that will do well for you.
