| I grafted many different Asian pear varieties (Shinko, Shinseiki, Tennosui, Hosui, Green Jade, Lao Suan Li, and Mishirasu) to this tree about 7 yrs ago. Lots of golfers asked me what kind of tree was that. I just smile and said ornamental pear tree. Tony |

| Tony. Nice grafting work. Do you have plans to put more pear varieties on the same tree? I started grafting a wild seedling pear on my property about five years ago. It now has five varieties of pears and three varieties of apple, all on the same tree. Good luck, Bill |
|
| Bill Each Spring I try to add one more variety to it. Just a hobby. Tony |
|
| Tony, what's you're favorite pear? |
|
| Tony, that tree is amazing. Are the pears different shapes and colors? I know zip about Asian pears. What a crop. What will you do with them? Mrs. G |
|
| Bob, My favorite Asian pears are Green Jade, Korean Giant, Shinko, Shinseiki(very Juicy and sweet), and Tennosui (does not turn brown after cutting it open). Tony |
|
| Mrs.G, They are very juicy and sweet. Nice healthy summer snack. My children loved them. I give some to my in laws and friends. Yes, some of them are greenish, yellow, and russett colors. You should try to grow one. Tony |

| Tony Could you post photo of whole tree? TIA. Rina |

| Rina, I will try to get a photo of the whole tree for you to see after work. Tony |
|
| Rina Here's what the whole tree looks like. Tony |
|
| Tony Thank you for the photo. Very nice tree. Rina |

| Rina, The only work I did on this tree was thinning fruits. Too many fruits will snap the branches. I try to graft a new variety anywhere to balance the tree structure. Pear is one of the easiest tree to graft. I choose my varieties from the USDA Corvallis. Scion woods are free and just have to pay for Fedex shipping. They asked you for a reason to obtain the scion woods and I usally told them for a cold hardy trail in Zone 5. In about 5 years then I email them the results. Tony |
