Shinsieki Asian Pear Tree, 5G

The Shinsieki Asian Pear tree is a popular variety that produces crisp, juicy pears with a sweet, mildly floral flavor. At maturity, a Shinsieki Asian Pear tree typically grows to a height of 15 to 20 feet (4.6 to 6.1 meters) and a width of 10 to 15 feet (3 to 4.6 meters). The tree has a spreading, upright growth habit and a dense canopy of oval-shaped, dark green leaves that turn yellow in the fall.

In the spring, the Shinsieki Asian Pear tree produces clusters of white flowers that are attractive to bees and other pollinators. The fruit of the Shinsieki Asian Pear is typically ready for harvest in late summer or early fall, and is a medium to large-sized pear with a round shape and a golden-yellow skin that is sometimes blushed with red. The flesh of the pear is white, crisp, and juicy with a sweet, mildly floral flavor that is similar to a cross between an apple and a pear.

Shinsieki Asian Pear trees are known for their productivity and disease resistance, making them a great choice for home orchards. The fruit is often enjoyed fresh, but can also be used for baking, canning, or making preserves.
