The root stock used on the particular variety has a lot to do with it. I don't believe my spring is any warmer than yours. My biggest problem every year is disease. Same with my apples. But the Asian pears don't have much problem with disease over here. I do have a green gage in the yard I planted 5 years ago as a 2 year old and still havn't gotten any fruit and it is slow grower compared to my other fruit trees. Ami
