Nashi Dual Nijisseiki/Hosui

$69.99

Pyrus pyrifolia (Nashi Pear, Asian Pear)

Double grafted – two varieties on one tree.

Nijisseiki: Medium-sized, round fruit with pale green skin. Flesh is creamy white, very juicy, sweet and crisp with a refreshing tartness. Mid-season harvest in February/March. Best eaten fresh. ‘Nijisseiki’ is a self-fertile variety and a good pollinator for ‘Hosui.’

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.

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.
