I agree with Dean that Ya Li and similar Asian pears have very little
flavor, whether that is because they are picked early for shipping or
whether it is inherent in the variety I don't know.
Some of the apple-shaped pears, eaten fresh off the tree, are very good.


Ya Li is one of my best tasting pears here on the Oregon coast.
It is shaped much like a Bartlet but it can be eaten right off the tree.
Very juicy and not as crisp as most asians.
The tree starts growing very upright and then the branches start growing horizonal and droop down.
So that picking becomes easier with age of tree.
