In reply to Alan's comments, yes, stone fruit
blossoms can look just fine after a freeze, then set no fruit. If you
actually look closely at your blossoms that have you worried, you may see
the centers are blackened. It's harder to spot on peaches than on
plums. It happens more times than not down here, but isn't all that
important unless the freeze gets every bud. With peaches you only need 10%
survival for a full crop.
Regarding the extremely bland
Asian pears, I think that's just the way they are. They'd probably be a
bit sweeter if grown down here, but just as bland. Donna
