Deb, I have a very young Orchard and haven't got any fruit on any of my trees
except for a few Asia pears. The Asian pears have grown better than any other
tree in the Orchard. I did have a little fire blight.

I really like Asian pears and really don't like spending $1.50 EACH for
sub-par fruit in the grocery store.
How hard are Asian pears to grow? Anyone know how they do in southern Ohio
(zone 6)? How susceptible to fireblight? Any other diseases that hit
Asian pears hard in this region?
