I know how to gauge the ripeness of a regular pear, thanks to Ed Fackler's advice. But, when do you pick Asian pears? There are three Shinseki's on the grafts of my tree and I'd like to pick them in the next day or two before I leave on an extended trip due to a family emergency. I felt the fruits this morning, and two of them yielded to pressure when pressed.

Any advice is appreciated.
