Thanks for the info, Lucky.  I've noticed that most Asian pear varieties 
are listed as growing to not more than 10 or 12 ft. I have found 
descriptions of Asian pears on standard rootstock but I haven't found 
either sources for them or descriptions of how tall they might get.  I'm 
hoping for something that will get at least 15 to 20 ft.   Any ideas?

Best,

Jay
