Steve, Asian pears are extremely spurry and can be kept quite compact on any
rootstock. Bet is probably best for you of what's widely available and even
most vigorous varieties don't need a lot of space to remain fruitful. Cal
isn't hardy enough here in southeastern NY and is the most vigorous
rootstock you'll find for this species, I think.

How small you planning to keep them? I've seen espaliered ones kept very
small with no problems on Bet.
