About Korean Giant Asian Pear

The "Korean Giant" (also known as the Olympic pear) is a late-season variety prized for its massive, grapefruit-sized fruit with golden-brown, russeted skin. Its flesh is exceptionally crisp and juicy, delivering a rich, sugary sweetness that is often compared to butterscotch. Unlike many other pears, it boasts excellent storage capabilities, retaining its firm texture and flavor for months after its autumn harvest.

Flavor Profile

Compared to the mild, watery sweetness of standard varieties like Shinseiki or 20th Century, the Korean Giant offers a denser, crunchier texture and a much bolder, sugary flavor often distinguished by rich notes of butterscotch.

Uses

Its exceptional crispness and high sugar content make it superb for fresh eating and slicing into salads, while its firm flesh also holds up well in baking or serves as an effective natural tenderizer for meat marinades.

Rootstock

Korean Giant Asian Pear is grafted onto different rootstocks to control the mature size of the tree. Each rootstock also provides different soil tolerances and resistance to diseases and pests.

Pyrus betulaefolia Standard

Mature height of 20-30' for asian and european pears.

Vigorous, hardy rootstock for pear trees, especially favored for Asian pears, known for its tolerance of diverse soils (heavy, wet, dry, alkaline) and resistance to fire blight and pear decline, producing larger, healthier trees and better yields, though it often results in a standard-sized tree rather than a dwarfed one.

Tree Sizes

Selecting the right tree size for your property is important. From large orchards to compact patios, we offer options to fit any growing space. At maturity, our trees fall into one of three size categories*:

Dwarf tree size

Dwarf

Reaches approximately 8-10 feet in height and spread. Perfect for limited spaces while still producing full-sized fruit in generous quantities.

Semi-Dwarf tree size

Semi-Dwarf

Grows to roughly 12-15 feet tall and wide. Offers excellent fruit production for its footprint, and most harvesting can be done without a ladder.

Standard tree size

Standard & Unmarked

Typically reaches 18 feet or more at maturity. Ideal for those wanting both abundant fruit harvests and natural shade coverage.
