An Asian pear called ‘Tsu li’ in the United States has a pyriform shape and prominent lenticels. In China this pear is pronounced as “Tse li” with a short vowel sound. The Chinese have another high quality pear, more obtuse to ovate in shape than ‘Tse li,’ and with less prominent lenticels. This pear is called ‘Tsu li.’ We are requesting scionwood of Chinese ‘Tsu li’ be sent to the United States. We need to use the spelling ‘Tse li’ for the pear that we have so that ‘Tsu li’ can refer to the Chinese ‘Tsu li.’
