Pyrus pyrifolia (Nashi Pear, Asian Pear)

Double grafted – two varieties on one tree.

Hosui: A reliable cropper, producing large crops of large, russeted, golden-brown fruit. Excellent eating with sweet, juicy flesh with a good acid balance and fine texture. Mid-season, fruit will ripen slightly earlier than ‘Nijisseiki’ in February/March. Fruit stores well for 2-3 months.

Kosui: Medium-large, round fruit with golden-brown skin. Very sweet with juicy, crisp flesh. Considered more flavoursome than ‘Hosui’. Ripens late Januray-February. Good for freezing, preserving and eating fresh.

Tree grows approximately 6m high x 4m wide. Good for espalier training. Prefers a sunny and sheltered position in moist, well drained soil. Water well during dry periods and while fruit is developing. Nashis grow best in cooler climates with mild summers.
