Description
Not to be confused with Asian pears, the Orient is a domestic variety named because of its large round shape that is similar to that of Asian pears. The pears have yellow skin with smooth textured, sweet, firm, juicy, white flesh. It is resistant to fire blight and is a heavy producer in August. The Orient pear does best with a pollinator such as Bartlett, Kieffer, or Moonglow. (300 Chill Hours)

USDA Hardiness Zones
A hardiness zone is a geographic area defined by average annual minimum winter temperatures, helping gardeners determine which plants can survive in their region. Developed by the USDA, the 13 numerical zones indicate cold hardiness—for example, a plant "hardy to zone 10" tolerates minimum temperatures of 30 to 40 °F (−1.1 to 4.4 °C).
