I have 6 Shinseiki AKA New Century (4-5 years old), I started them individually wrapped, in the refrigerator because, the temperature is controlled. Once sprouted, I didn't have to separate them since, they had their own, individual napkin. This way, I skipped the aggravation from disturbing the root. They're roughly 5' tall (1.5 metres). They took a while to reach that height but, for the first time, this summer, I fed them homemade compost. That really boost their growth. I don't really care if they don't produce fruits. It's the fun part of starting a tree from seeds, that makes it worthwhile.

This is excellent! It's also perfect timing. I bought a bare root Asian pear tree online and it died. I bought a 3 yr old one from a local nursery, and it's doing great, but now they are sold out of Asian pear trees. Tonight I am marinating bulgogi and galbi so I have a Korean Giant pear (I think). I literally followed along with your steps. I hope my seeds will germinate. Thank you!

I just found your channel from an old pepper cross pollination video and checked out your channel. You definitely deserve a subscribe!

[@krisfleischer7467]

Your vids never fail to impress

[@kaylizzie7890]

I accidentally sprouted a few Asian pear seeds in the fridge (I found them sprouted inside the fruit) so I put them in a recycled yogurt container and they’re already 2 inches tall 🌱

[@gofigure4920]

Hi there, so 2 years later... how is your apple pear doing? How long do you think till you get fruit to eat? 😊

[@kaylizzie7890]

@@gofigure4920 it died 💀 I do not have a green thumb despite numerous attempts.

I tell you, man, you have knowledge for growing things. Thanks for sharing it with us. Happy gardening

Thank you! Im going to try!

Good video as usual. Where do I get the hydroponics from?

Creative genius !

[@ka.erptvofficial590]

I'm so glad to have a pear seedlings here in the Philippines

[@hamsandwich780]

Great video - one question I have about transferring - if you had the space and a lamp, would the ideal place for the tree be inside in your hydro system? Does a tree grow better in soil past a certain point?

[@who8dapple]

I just cut up a Korean Giant that I had forgotten in the fruit crisper. I managed to cleanly remove 3 good seeds and hoping to get them to sprout now!

[@togarashi8086]

Lol.. You got some scissors skills 👍... Nice video Khang 🤙

[@mohammedsayfulahmed8651]

Awesome information my friend

[@tristansemeniuk]

What did you use in the hydroponic system to put the sprouted seeds in? Rock wool?

[@sphinxceo]

Thanks for the video. I am hoping to see mine sprout in 10 days! Yours look amazing after 2 weeks. I'd like to know what ambient temperature they are kept in and how long you use the growing lights on them each day. Thank you. My eventual goal is to graft them onto a rootstock and hopefully see some fruits. :D

[@rbfreitas]

Great video

[@dustyacres]

I have a Asian pear tree that I did this method and my tree is now about a foot tall. Just wondering if you would plant it into some soil at this point inside being December?

[@lucasgrowsbestyt]

it's a neat experiment. I have a 4-year-old apple tree grown from seed. The only problem is they will probably not produce good fruit unless they are grafted

[@erincurrie1560]

What does that mean?

[@lotusflower18]

Instead of using rockwool cubes, could I use sphagnum moss?

[@jcwoodland6192]

Can I use soil to plant my Asian pear seed sprouts.?And what kind of soil ? Thank you

[@hitpoint3]

Great video! I already started doing this but soon it will be time to move them outside. Where is the part 2 video? The part when you move them out? :/

[@rentaldept7310]

Can we grow it in zone 8?

[@chiautorepair]

Can you just start them in the rockwool?

[@qkun]

Just tried one for the first time, also live in tx, also January but it's hot😭 I'm gonna keep them in the fridge! Hopefully this works out

[@DC-er4sn]

Where do you get the heat mat?

[@Melissa0774]

Would these be compatible for fertilization with a German Seckle pear tree? I'm wondering because I have a seckle pear tree that stopped producing fruit two years ago and I don't know why. I'm wondering if maybe there was another pear tree in the area that was pollinating it that got cut down or something. I had only one pear tree and it was producing pears fine until two years ago. The tree is 15 years old. It looks like half of it is dead, but the other half is fine. I don't see any insects or anything. I'd love to be able to grow korean pears, but I want to know I'm not going to have all these annoying problems with it.

Will my pear tree last the winter!?? Its a Asian white pear. I live in Ontario Canada

Where do I get the net cuppings to buy

[@richiesun9676]

where to buy small amounts of rockwool?

[@emanueldelgado540]

Will two seedlings cross pollinate since they’re not true to seed

[@vhnguyen9447]

Hey Khang! Good fast grow but how long before it puts out fruits? :D Great vid as always!

[@KhangStarr]

Growing from seeds will take a long time, probably 5-10 years.

[@billyparadise7105]

How are the trees now?

[@Perry1769]

Very cool, Khang! You don’t ever have any issues with root rot? Also, what kind of water are you using and how frequently do you exchange it for fresh water and when do you begin with a nutrient solution?

[@KhangStarr]

No root rot. I don't change nutrients at this stage, I just let them sit in there for 3-4 weeks at a time.

[@Perry1769]

Khang Starr what are your starting ppm levels ranging from for seedling stage? Thanks for the reply!🤗🌱

[@justaddmusclecom]

Wow, that is awesome. Will these pears grow in Zone 10A?

[@KhangStarr]

I think there is a few that may be able to. Check out online nurseries, they will list the zones by each variety.

[@justaddmusclecom]

Awesome, will do that. Thanks so much.

[@veeknitqueensolo7177]

I started some (8) with paper towels and baggies in my fridg, they sprouted and are now about 3 to 4 inches what and how do I care for them in northeast zone 6a.

[@KhangStarr]

Asian pear trees can survive temperature down to -10F. But for small plants, I'd take it inside during winter until they get about a size of a pen in thickness.

[@adriangarciafishing7498]

I live in Spokane Washington an we have really cold kinda long winters would these live outside here do you think

[@KhangStarr]

Mature Asian pears can survive down to -10F

[@jeffirons8555]

Hi, I live in the western Pacific on a small Island where it can be very hot, would these Asian pears grow in such climate?

[@detyelram2819]

my guess is yes, the plant will grow, but you may need cold stratification for them to bloom and thus fruit

[@SebastianGlaser_google]

Hi, I am from Germany and love your YT channel! I am a beginner in growing pepper plants and would need some advise. I have young pepper plants (Thai Red Hot, Maldivian Heart) and they grow in potting soil. I have placed them in a grow tent. This tent is fittet with a full spectrum LED grow light (1200w) and the temperature inside is about 27 degree. However, the pepper leafes start to get brown spots. They are watered perfectly and there is no indication of any pests or fungus. Have you ever seen that on very young plants? Any idea what the problem could be? Thanks a lot!

[@easygrows2699]

Bacterial Leaf Spot, is transmitted on infected seeds and transplants grown from infected seed. There is no known cure. Prune away infected leaves and practice good sanitation in the garden and with tools. If plants appear to be severely infected, remove and destroy the plants. Das könnte eine bakterielle Krankheit sein, die anscheinend sogar den Samen infiziert. Da hilft nichts außer wegschneiden der betroffenen Teile. Schön hier noch einen deutschen zutreffen der auch Pflanzen begeistert ist :D

[@SebastianGlaser_google]

@@easygrows2699 Thanks for your prompt answer! I will check out if it is a bacterial infection and see what I can do. Danke für die schnelle Hilfe! Vg, Sebastian

[@timothysvirbly4988]

What do you do if you wait too long to take the sprouted plants out of the paper towel and their roots grow into the paper towel? I have never had luck planting my sprouts after this has happened.

[@frankdavidson9675]

roots in the paper towel is a problem you may use toilet tissue or kleenex lots easer to remove roots this softer tissue

[@howdoyouknowthat]

Just cut with scissors carefully around the part of the towel the root is stuck too. Then plant them in soil. That little bit of paper towel won't matter at all. Answering for future readers, I know it's too late for yours ;-)

[@taylordavidson5199]

Hey khang I notice in your outdoor beds you don’t have any drip irrigation set up and was wondering how you water your plants, are you out there everyday watering?

[@KhangStarr]

Yes, I water when I see they are dry. This is just a temporary home for my seedlings, they will go outside in a month.

[@taylordavidson5199]

I may have not been clear, my apologies. I was referring to your raised beds I have seen in other videos, I didn’t notice any drip irrigation and was just wondering your watering method, as I do not have irrigation either.

[@KhangStarr]

@@taylordavidson5199 Ohhh so sorry! I don't have drip irrigation, but I modified my sprinkler to water all the beds. It looks much cleaner this way =). When it's crazy hot, I may do additional manual watering.

[@trumplostlol3007]

Even if you have more than one pear trees, there is no guarantee that there will be pollination because the timing of putting out flowers is different for different varieties of pear trees. Asian pear trees flower very early and it is difficult for them to get pollinated cause most insects, especially bees are not very active early in the season.

[@quoclien3343]

hahaha man i think i should grow these pears, last 2 weeks i went bought some fruits for lunar ny preperations, 10dollars for 3 damn pears at the asian grocery store, i was getting robbed that day buying a plate full of fruits for the alters to the deities

[@alamingazipur3843]

[@KN1GHTS1000]

I bought mine from a nursery and only got 5 fruits in 7 years. :(

[@KhangStarr]

oh man that's not good. Maybe the pear tree is too small to bear lots of fruits. Sometimes it require pruning and cutting away the buds in order for the tree to focus on growth. Also, it could be that you may need another tree to help pollinate. What variety is it?

[@KN1GHTS1000]

@@KhangStarr Been so long that I forgot what variety it was. It's probably a combination of pollination and red clay soil in my area. I've no room for another Asian pear since I've two Fuyu persimmons in the yard also.

[@TotalValueVideo]

You need to add cinnamon to the wet paper towel. It’s a mold inhibitor.

[@richiesun9676]

Is there a video for next steps after this? How big do you let them grow in hydro? Do you add nitrogen to the hydro? When do you plant in soil? How long before they can go outside?

[@RoweyYT]

Never cut off the seeds from seedlings or pick off, believe it or not they are still feeding the plant with their own stuff and will drop when ready, that’s what I was taught anyway

[@jaredmccutcheon5496]

The seed husk does nothing for the emerging seedling, the cotyledons it is protecting are the seedlings initial source of nutrients. If the husk is not removed and it dries the seedling will rot and die.

[@matshagstrom9839]

most fruit need to be grafted to get consumable fruit. hate to see people invest time or allow trees to become mature without knowing the tree will not produce fruit like the parent plant. nice demonstration on seed germination. thank you
