I brought some in the local supermarket but they are from China..I wasn't sure if we could buy the trees in Aus.They are like a Nashi to look at but are much smaller and very refreshing to eat.

Yes, The ones sold in super market are imported from China : Tsu li and Yali. They have been grown in NSW for the last 10 years

I have not seen these local grown Fruits sold in the market but I believe These trees can be found in Nursery in Australia. DPI NSW may know.

I think Lorraine may be talking about Ya pears which are exclusively grown in China.

Thanks for your help....The Ya Pears are larger than the Fragrant pears and are more like Nashi in size....I will try the DPI..

These red bear plums look good - are they of asian origin too..?

Recently been loving the D'Anjou pears so much that I am going to have to plant a tree myself now!

They are lovely - and a very old cultivar from Belgium I am told...
(they are a little similar to these red bears so I am curious...
or is that "bears" a typo error?
