Default Nashi Pears

Just back from a trip to visit friends near Toulouse and noticed they had a
Nashi Pear (Pyrus pyrifolia)in their large garden which fruits well they
say. Certainly had a nice crop growing on it.
It does grow in Japan and our friends near Toulouse say they had frost down
to -12C last winter so do any of you grow it successfully over here in the
UK (or are our summers too cold) ?
