Asian Pears
Asian pears have been grown for thousands of years in China. They were
first introduced to North America as a garden curiosity around 1820, and
seeds were later carried there by Chinese immigrants during the gold rushes
of the mid-1800s. Asian varieties are also called Oriental pears, Chinese
pears, Japanese pears, apple pears, sand pears, salad pears, Shalea, and Nashi.
