Pyrus pyrifolia 'Korean Giant'

Also called Dan Bae or Olympic, Korean Giant is a vigorous, winter-hardy tree that produces at a young age and bears a heavy crop of large, round, olive-green fruit that can weigh up to a pound each! The fruit can be kept in cold storage until March. This highly touted pear blooms early in the season and ripens in mid-October. It is very crisp and juicy with a high sugar content.

Does well in most of the nation but can ripen too late in the coolest maritime summer climates. Considered reliably fireblight resistant!

Hardy to USDA Zone: 5

Chill Hours Needed: Unverified/sources differ on chill hours; from 400-700

Mature Height:  15' (Semi Dwarf)

Sun: Full Sun

Ripening Time: October in PNW

Pollination: Needs a Pollinizer

Semi-Dwarf Rootstock: OHxF87

Only the bottom 18 inches are growing

Delivery went smoothly and we followed the directions for bare root stock. Unfortunately so far we're only seeing growth in the first 12-18 inches of the plant, so it's going to take longer than I had hoped to get to maturity.

Such a happy tree

I bought this Korean Giant Asian Pear from Raintree Nuersery to replace one from another company. The tree from Raintree was so much healthier straight out of the box. Although it has only been a couple of months, it is looking healthy and doing great. I will only get my trees from Raintree from now on!

I got it 5 years ago.

I got it 5 years ago, it now 15 feet tall, 3 inch trunks, my first harvest was last year and it a great paer to eat right off the tree. I recommend it, I probably could sell them on the roadside if I had 25 trees, they would sell for sure, not your typical grocery store paer, mush more flavorful

Korean Giant Asian pear

Bare root sapling arrived in good condition several weeks ago. Planted the next day after a water soak per instructions. Now breaking bud/leafing out well. Too early to ascertain hardiness/disease resistance or certainly fruit production yet. But it does appear viable at this point.

Miracle of Life.

I ordered my 2nd Asian Pear tree to pollinate my 1st Asian Pear tree.
The 2nd tree was put in a bucket of water for 2 weeks…
that tree has been sprouting leaves after 3 days in water.
Finally dug the 2nd hole, 2 feet from the 1st (Rain Tree’s
suggestion since space is an issue)_ it’s going to be interesting, these trees will lock together like a hedge sporting Pears.
Now, if only Hawaii’s Agriculture Dept would allow my Parfianka Pomegranate to be shipped, that would complete the “miracle of life”.

So far so good

So far so good and we’re starting to get some leaves sprouts and couldn’t wait till it gets mature. The tree was in good condition and shipping was great. I will order more fruit trees in the future. Thank you Raintree.

Thank so much to the owner. I more than appreciate with the Korean Asian pear tree. It is so wonderful. I recommend Raintree. Thanks again
