Description
If you prefer the sweet flavor of pears but the crunch of an apple, look no further than the Shinseiki Asian Pear tree. The Shinseiki Pear tree is ideal for warmer climates due to its low chill hour requirement of 300-400 hours for fruit production. This Pyrus pyrifolia cultivar is low maintenance and easy to grow and will begin heavily bearing fruit after its second year of planting. Shinseiki Asian Pear trees are self-pollinating and feature delicious bright yellow skinned fruit that begins to ripen in mid July. This Asian pear variety will benefit from the addition of other Asian pear trees planted nearby to enhance cross pollinating. Shinko Pear Tree is the best variety for this. The yellow fruit is crisp, juicy sweet, and slightly tart, making it ideal for salads, pies, and fresh eating. It is commonly called dessert pears for their sweet and juicy taste. Harvest these medium sized pears in the late summer months – usually sometime in August. Once ripe, the pears can bruise easily.
