Can anyone help this person out?  He lives in Iowa and I in western 
Washington.  You can write directly to him.

Thanks,

Subject: Korean pear

Dear Madam or Sir:



Are there varieties of Korean (Asian) pear trees that would withstand the
winters of northern Iowa or southern Minnesota?  Do you have any information
on planting/growing conditions and precautions?  How hardy are they and are
they susceptible to insects and diseases?  Would they work well with an
organic operation?
