Pyrus pyrifolia ‘Shinseiki’- Asian Pear – 7-Gallon

A round, yellow-skinned, firm fruit that is early-maturing (mid- to late-August) and stores for up to three months from harvest under refrigeration. In appearance it resembles ’20th Century’ but is a little less flavorful. The flavor is still considered good to excellent. Trees are self-fruitful in California, but in our climate they will produce larger and more uniformly, round fruit with cross-pollination. Occasionally cross-pollination results in too heavy a fruit-set and heavy thinning becomes necessary for good fruit size.
