They are graft compatible on pears. You might try grafting some on an established pear to get it into bearing. The usual problem with them isn't survival, it's that they bloom in mid winter - December through January.

To the group: I have loquat seedlings in the ground that survived a severe winter as far as Seattle goes. Any idea on how many years before a seedling starts blooming?
