Sorbopyrus are fairly scab resistant, but they are susceptible to
fireblight. How would you describe the flavor of the Shipova you tasted?
The ones I ate tasted like a very juicy, full-flavored pear but with crisp
texture much like an Asian pear. They crunched when you bit. There were a
multitude of undertones to the pear flavor. I detected flowery nuances and
bit of grape. The fruit is exquisite.
