An Asian pear tree which is of large to medium size, vigorous, upright to slightly spreading, tall, open, medium growing and hardy; foliated with large, wide, long, medium thick, leathery, ovate leaves having acuminate apices, a margin with sharply setose serration, and a petiole of medium length and thickness; blooms early with white, medium size, fertile flowers; and is a regular and productive bearer of large to very large, obovate to globular fruit having skin which is smooth, thick to medium thick, and medium green to light green at maturity, and white flesh which is firm, somewhat coarse, crisp, tender, juicy, sweet, and subacid with a trace of tartness.

I claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of Asian pear tree, substantially as illustrated and described, characteristically including--in comparison to other Asian pear varieties--the regular and productive bearing of large to very large fruit which becomes picking and eating ripe after the Bartlett and the Shinko; the fruit, of excellent quality, being smooth and clean in appearance, and the flesh being white, firm, tender, crispy, juicy, sweet with a faint trace of tartness, and refreshingly mild; the storage life of the fruit being five to six months at 32° F.
