Chojuro Asian Pear Tree

Chojuro Asian Pear Tree

Tastes Like Butterscotch



Our researchers consistently rank Chojuro as the richest-flavored Asian pear. Beautiful, golden fruit has a butterscotchlike flavor when tree-ripened. The medium to large fruit ripens in mid September. Very productive; thin to increase fruit size. Zones 5-8.

This item ships only in the spring.
If our spring shipping season is closed, your order will be shipped the following spring.

Amazing fruit
Reviewed By: Tony (Herriman, Utah)
I bought this tree two years ago and it rooted easily. My dog eat the top off last fall and I didn't think it would recover. To my suprise the tree came out of it in spring of 09. It has grown over two feet this year and bore two fruits. We harvested the amber gems this week and were amazed by the sweet flavor and crispness. I cant wait to see what next year bring, more fruit I hope. I just need to keep my dog away til then!

Yes this tree is a slow grower but it is an awesome producer and the fruit is wonderful. The growth rate greatly increased on the third year. Wonderful tree!

Yes, this tree is a slow grower, however I noticed than on the third year mine started putting out much longer new branches than pervios years. That aside, this tree is an awesome producer; it is covered with pears. It produces like a myers lemon tree. I suppose I could enhance growth by removing fruit, but I can't 'waste' them. Besides this year my tree put out several new shoots over a foot long, while being covered with fruit; that's pretty good growth. The fruit is wonderful and given it costs over a dollar per fruit to buy, I'd say this is an exceptional buy. Wonderful tree!
