Grow Crisp, Juicy Fruit with the Low-Maintenance Shinseiki Asian Pear Tree

The Shinseiki Asian Pear Tree produces bright yellow, apple-crisp pears with a sweet, juicy flavor. Low chill requirements, fast fruiting, and high yields make this self-pollinating tree ideal for home gardeners in USDA zones 5–9.

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 its 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.

Pruning Guide

Prune your pear trees in late winter or early spring before green fruit production begins. You want to prune for air circulation, prune off dead and diseased branches. In late spring or early summer, you may have to prune heavy-bearing branches. Since these trees produce bushels of apple pears, the fruit will begin to bear too much weight on one branch. Prune annually and perfect fruit thinning for the best crop production.
