Greetings,

Do any of you have experience with the hardiness of Asian & European pear trees? Will they grow in ND?

I realize it's possible with our cold climate that I will not get fruit every year. Perhaps they will only fruit once every 3 or 4 years depending on our spring frosts. But will the trees themselves be hardy?

I purchased 2 Asian pear trees that were rated zone 3 by Burnt Ridge Nursery & Orchards. I also bought a couple European pears through them. I'd love to have fruit from them but more importantly I want to make sure the trees will survive our winters.

Any information/experience would be greatly appreciated.
