Growing & Maintenance Tips
More than one cultivar must be planted in order to facilitate the best pollination and subsequent fruit production. Other Asian pears and 'Bartlett' are compatible with 'Shinseiki'.
Notes
Commonly served raw and peeled, Asian pears are too moist for baking. The botanical name for Shinseiki Asian Pear has been updated from Pear x 'Shinseiki' to Pyrus pyrifolia 'Shinseiki'.
