Nashi pear
Common names: Asian pear, Apple pear
This description was machine-translated.
Description
The Nashi pear resembles a round apple in appearance but tastes crisp and juicy like a particularly refreshing pear. It blooms early and profusely, making it a welcome forage for bees. For a good harvest, plant a pear or a second Nashi variety as a pollinator nearby.
Care instructions
Plant the tree in a sunny spot with nutrient-rich, well-draining soil, preferably in autumn (October, week 43). Because of its early flowering, choose a location protected from late frosts. Prune in winter (February, week 8) to remove excess growth, and harvest the fruit from August once it begins to loosen slightly from the branch.
