I have these growing and starting to make fruit.....I had these in LA in more mature trees and made loads of fruit.......never saw any fireblight...hot and humid weather, too. I am in zone 8. Bright red foliage in the fall. Exfoliating bark and twisted trunks... Don't ever let one of these fruits fall and hit you in the head !!! Pete
