I have several asian pears, but pears such as the shinko and 20th century only yield for me in northwest florida just between zone 8b and 9a after a colder than average winter. They did this season flower, but got hit with fireblight. I will check to see what pears I still have on them. Hosui, chojiro, korean giant, and my two chinese pears do not require as many chill hours and typically bloom for me. The chojiro is overall the best asian pear for me. It has never caught fireblight. The same is true of one of my chinese pears (Can't say which since the tags got mixed, think it is Ya Li). The korean giant seems also resistant so far to fireblight. All of these are supposed to need a pollinator that blooms at the same time. If you have only one pear choose one that is said to be self fertile. The keiffer is the typical single family pear tree.
So pears n apple need another one to pollunate but by crossing them making an an sian pear n no need to pollinate wow thats amazing! And best of all it taste 100 time better!
@sergio herrera I'm not 100% sure they are native to Eastern united States I'm up in MI. They have few different cultivars that I believe do better in warmer climates. I got mine from onegreenworld nursery. Maybe give them a call and see what they recommend. I know in the north I had to get early ripening varieties due to shorter growing season.
@@justinskeans3342 that’s a good idea they’re an online retailer? I’ll give them a call thank you ! Pawpaws are loaded with vitamin C ! Also traditional papayas I give them daily to my son who suffers from eczema.
I bought a small box of Hosui pears at a local Farmer's market and just ate one today and it tastes like honeysuckle! I'm saving the seeds and am going to grow some trees! One question; how deep do the roots grow and is there any risk of hem interfering with your pipes if grown close to the house?
Our backyard is very densely planted. Most fruit trees are 4ft between one another and the majority are dwarf-semi dwarf trees. Apples, cherries, peaches, paw paws, and a whole lot more jam packed in there haaa.
I missed my 2 Asian 6 in one grafted pear tree. My mom replanted it after 3 seasons of abundant fruits and both died. I wanted to buy another one, but we have lots of gophers now. I spent so much money to get rid off it. I can’t grow anything anymore. Help please.
I have the 20th Century and Shinseiki and planning to plant then in ground soon. How far apart are yours? You make me so excited, hopefully my trees will look like yours in the near future.
We only have one very mature asian pear tree on our backyard. I grafted a few different varieties last year to save space. I would space it at least about 15 feet apart and you can always prune it to the size and spacing you want.
Most asian pear trees are self fruitful, but they do set a lot more fruit is there is another pear variety nearby! Pear set their fruits on spur and are very similar to how an apple tree would set fruit. On our, we chop at the heighest point where our hand can reach and let the branch spread out similar to how a peach/vase shape tree would be so we can pick the fruits much easier.
Try to find any other variety of asian pear trees such as korean giant or hosui and you can alway buy scions in early spring to graft them. Pear grafting is the easiest to take in my experience.
Most definitely! We have had weather down to -5 degrees a few years back here and get down to almost 0 every year and they always come back strong every spring.
I have 2 Olympic giants. At least 10 years old. Produces a lot of pears. I'm in Iowa I get more and more each year. Love my Asian pears.
I finally tasted the grafted Olympic Giants and it is a great variety! Much denser and larger than the typical asian pears.
I love the love for this fruit tree... I do only have room for one in my backyard... I'm sold and very excited.
Asian pear is so good. So crispy, so crunchy, sweet, and refreshing. ❤️
Thank you for sharing, you should root propagation of the branch and sell it, I would buy it.
I just got myself a ultra dwarf shinsheki plant. I just put it in the ground a few weeks ago. I can’t wait for the flowers to pop out.
Nice! You won't be disappointed. In a few years time you will have more then you know what to do with haa.

How can this pear go wrong since it's been cultivated in East Asian for thousands years as top list of all time favorite fruits.
I totally agree with you it’s so tasty and sweet…. I have 2 Asian pear tree 🍐 4 in 1 varieties.
Asian pears are juicy and sweet, really worthwhile to grow at backyards
Yes, we look forward to them each year!
lm planting my first asian pear tree this year
Ordering some now thanks for the video! Cant wait to have fruit

Sounds delicious!! :)
Hello nat I’m from woodbridge I will to come to see your garden and you can come see my let me know please I have orange lime lemon mandarins
I just bought one! Cannot wait to taste my own! Can you share how you prune in summer and winter? Unless you already have a video up?
So cool man my yard looks about same size as yours I got 6 asian pears on order can't wait to get them in the ground. Paw paws and persimmons as well.
Nice! I also planted quite a few paw paw last fall and have two persimmon that have yet to fruit.
Hi guys good content question do pawpaws do good in desert climate ? I live in Lancaster CA. So far I have a peach tree and a pomegranate tree going

We have one and it started blossoming. Can’t wait for it to fruit. Great video. 👍
Good luck! We got hit with almost 3 late freezes here after blooming and probably only getting a few handful this year haha.
Love this!! Am so happy I planted one; it's just starting to flower now two weeks after planting it🙂🙂
If you just planted it enjoy the flowers and pull the fruit let roots get established for year or 2 for optimal health
@@justinskeans3342 It's so hard, but I know I ought to do it😏

Great to hear! We have this tree about 10 foot away from our main sewer line for almost 30 years now and no roots have penetrated through.
What other trees are those I see in your yard and how far a part did you plant them?

@@natbackyardgarden I had one years and years ago with 4 different pears grafted but it didn’t survived.
Ok I'll get one.
Heck ye! Pear scions graft very easily also even for a noob like me! So you can graft multiple varieties in years to come.
How old is your tree? I’m thinking of getting one, awesome video, thanks
It is at least 10 years old. You won't regret it!
Can Asian pear survive the snow in Michigan?
I have 15years old pear tree but until now no flowers and fruit here in Munoz Nueva ecija philippines
How has this pear done against fire blight?
I have not notice any type of fire blight ever 20+years.
@natbackyardgarden thanks I'll definitely have to get it for the ft Worth area .
Do you really just have one tree? I just bought one shinseiki but was not sure how self fruitful it was. Also how do you prune it?

We can’t find it at any nursery 😢😢😢

What do you spray for the pear tree? My Shinko had bugs on the fruit which I can’t eat them.
