I'm looking for some Asian pears and European pears that might be good canidates for storage.   We are in zone 8 and have a root cellar that is a pretty constant 40 degrees.  One of our Asian pears is a late season, but it didn't seem to hold well in the cellar.  I'm guessing this might be typical of Asian pears, but couldn't find anything on storing Asian pears.  My storage books only talk of European pears.

Thank you for any suggestions.
