Asian pears are often called apple pears because they are crisp like an apple, but have a pear-like flavor and aroma. While slightly exotic, they are relatively easy to grow. Most trees cultivated for home gardens are dwarf varieties that reach only 8' to 15' tall. Popular types include Shinseiki, Atago, Kosui, Hosui, Niitaka, Yoinashi, Shinsui, Korean Giant and Shinko.
