Asian pears?

18 years ago

First of all, does anyone grow this around here? I see that for most of the ones which are listed on Johnson Nurseries, all but one are cited as zone 6. I'm told that Troy is sort of borderline and really dependable to zone 5. Are any hardy to zone 5?

Does anyone know where they are sold around here? Thanks in advance.

I have bought Asian pears from the Jung Catalog & they have done well. Karen
