Chojuro Asian Pear Tree

Chojuro Asian Pear Tree

Tastes Like Butterscotch

  (6 customer reviews)



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.

Plants arrived in good shape. They were planted on hillside about 200 feet away from apple trees that do just great. I planted these pears 2 years ago in well drained very nice soil and ample water supply with a 6.5 ph. In two years these trees have grown 2 inches without any real bush-out. Clipped them out sparingly last year- no results in growth. Sweet sixteen apples on same hillside have grown more than 16 inches.

The tree was very hardy, grew like a weed and was regularly covered with fruit. What's not to like? Well after nurturing the tree and waiting patiently for five years for the flavor to improve, I figured it wasn't worth the effort and space and just cut the sucker down to make room for something that tasted better than butterscotch flavored cardboard.

Excellent Fruit
Reviewed By: Candace (Lawrenceville, Georgia)
I bought two (2) of these trees and they both produced fruit the next year. The trees are heavy producers and the fruit is wonderful. They are slow growers however and (at least in Ga clay soils) will not add much height from year to year. You could remove the fruit to help this process, but between the two trees, I get more than enough fruit.......
