Pyrus pyrifolia 'Chojuro'
Chojuro Asian Pear
Chojuro Asian pear bears crisp, juicy fruit with russet-brown skin and a rich, sweet flavor. A compatible pollinating cultivar is needed for dependable cropping, and tree size varies with rootstock and training.
Its structure combines dense branching and several main stems. Growth is fast. The leaves are shed for winter. Autumn foliage can bring yellow tones.
Choose a site in full sun or partial shade. Provide acidic, well-drained soil and maintain even moisture. Provide a compatible Asian pear cultivar flowering at the same time.
