Pear Crispie

$41.99

Pyrus x ‘Crispie’ (Nashi – European Pear Hybrid)

A cross between ‘Nijisseiki’ and ‘Max Red Bartlett’ bringing together a refreshing combination of European flavour and the Asian Nashi ‘crunch’ appeal. Medium-sized, yellow pear with smooth skin and a crisp, firm texture. ‘Bartlett’ type flavour with fully ripened, juicy and sweet. Early season; harvest late Feburary-March.

Require cross-pollination with another Nashi or pear variety. Pear trees are excellent for espalier training. Vigorous and upright growth habit. Grows approximately 3m high x 2m wide.

Requires a full sun position for best fruit development. Pears are deep rooted and will grow in most soil types. Tolerant of wet soils in the summer, though not in winter. Pears grow well in cooler areas with mild summers but ‘Winter Nelis’ is a variety that performs well in warmer areas. Shelter from wind and protect new growth from spring frosts.
