My experiences have been similar, so far;  while OHxF 513 may be 
exceedingly dwarfing for Dr. Natalson in TX, Asians seem to do fine on it 
here in southern west-central KY(zone 6).  While my grafts on 513 are only 
about 3 years old, the Asian varieties seem to be every bit as vigorous, if 
not more so, than the Southern(European type) pears grafted at the same time.
