Asian Pear ‘Chojuro’
FamilyRosaceae
Pyrus pyrifolia ‘Chojuro’ is a highly prized Asian pear tree known for its crisp, juicy, and deliciously sweet fruits, offering a unique firm texture that distinguishes it from classic European pears. Its large, round fruits, with a bronze-yellow skin that is slightly brown and dense white flesh, are excellent for fresh consumption, salads, fruit platters, or light desserts, while also keeping well after harvest. Adapted to temperate climates like that of Quebec, this cultivar boasts an attractive white spring bloom that draws pollinators, also adding a beautiful spectacle to the garden. With a rounded to slightly spreading habit, ‘Chojuro’ integrates harmoniously into residential orchards, edible gardens, or small sunny landscape gardens. Easy to grow in full sun and well-drained soil, this Asian pear tree combines hardiness, generous yields, and high-quality fruit for lovers of unique fruit trees.
