Hi Bill,
I am curious as to what rootstock your Asian pears are grafted on to to
make them dwarf. A number of years ago I had grafted some Asian pears onto
quince with an Old Home interstem. They tended to stunt out at a young
age. The last few years I have put the Asian pears onto Pyrodwarf and they
seem to do fine although Pyrodwarf is a relative new rootstock.
I have Korean Giant and Olympic. The pears from the two varieties
visually look the same but when I cut them open and taste them the Korean Giant
was sweeter, at least at my location and the environment was the same for
both. I've heard that they are different strains of the same
variety. I just know that there is a difference in taste.
