Best in full sun. August through October. Pick ripe right from the tree. China, Korea and Japan. Good garden loam is preferred.
Trees can tolerate heavy wet soils.
Generally train as you would a European pear or an apple, with certain modifications. Select two varieties for pollination. All are considered to be good pollinizers. For best results, rely on early bloomers to pollinize each other. Mid to late season bloomers will pollinate each other.
