Of all the tree fruits we grow, my favorites are the Asian pears. The small trees top out at only 12 to 20 feet m tall, making them easy to maintain. Plus, they always make a good crop. Sometimes called Nashi pears or apple-pears, crisp and juicy Asian pears are delicious fresh, and even better when dried into sweet, chewy morsels. Trees start bearing about four years after planting and keep producing for at least 20 years. Growing Asian pears is easy if you have a sunny, well drained site with a slightly acidic soil pH around 6.
