KOREAN GIANTS USUALLY RIPEN IN MID-GEORGIA SEPT 7-10.  WITH THE HEAT
THIS SUMMER A FEW DAYS EARLIER.   THE BEST WAY I'VE FOUND ON ASIAN
PEARS IS  CUT INTO THE CORE, IF THE SEEDS ARE BLACK OR NEARLY BLACK
THE FRUIT IS RIPE.  I WILL BRING SOME "SHOW-AND-TELL" KOREAN GIANTS
TO THE CLEMSON MEETINGS, THEY WILL BE ABOUT A WEEK SHORT OF RIPE
BUT WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR TASTE TEST.

My grafted two-fer Asian pear tree is loaded this year with Stark's Giants (Korean Giant) fruit.  The grafts have one Shinseki fruit.  All bagged and they look terrific.  How do you tell when Asian pears are ripe?  The tree produced one pear  last year, the second season in the ground, and I arbitrarily picked it when it looked yellow.  It was a bit over ripe, lacking some of the crunch, but still very good.
