Can anyone help this person out? He lives in Iowa and I in western

Subject: Korean pear
Dear Madam or Sir:
Are there varieties of Korean (Asian) pear trees that would withstand the
winters of northern Iowa or southern Minnesota? Do you have any information
on planting/growing conditions and precautions? How hardy are they and are
they susceptible to insects and diseases? Would they work well with an
organic operation?
