The 2 Best Asian Pear To Be Planted In Your Backyard | Abundant Fruits, Early Ripening & Delicious

If you love Asian Pear but have limited space in your backyard, these two varieties are a good choice to plant. These 2 are Shinseiki & Hosui. We've done several videos on these varieties in the past, but just wanted to show you the abundant of fruits on these trees year after year. This video is recorded in August of 2018 and the trees are about 8-9 years old.

The following are the 2 videos we did on these two varieties last year:

2)    • Hosui: The Best Asian Pear, Incredibl...   - Hosui: The Best Asian Pear, Incredibly Tasty I Cant Stop Eating Them, A Must Nashi To Plant

About Hosui:

Hosui is the the best-flavored and tastiest of all the Asian pears! Hosui fruits are incredibly tasty & delicious. At orchards and nurseries, Hosui has consistently been rated the best-tasting Asian pear and scored extremely high in taste-tests elsewhere.

Ripening in late August, fruit is mildly flavored, large to medium with attractive, round globular shape and a crisp like apple, sweet, refreshing, flavorful, juicy off-white flesh. Skin has an excellent golden yellow-brown, heavily russeted with pronounced lenticels. Tree is vigorous, willowy and spreading. Good resistance to pear-scab disease. Susceptible to fireblight. Requires thinning to attain maximum fruit size.

From Japanese breeding program, introduced in 1972; (Kikusui x Yakumo) x Yakumo. Sugar content usually 12 brix or higher
but less sweet or more tart in the North. It has a long storage life. Storage life is approximately 2 months.

About Shinseiki:

Shinseiki is one of the earliest ripening nashi with juicy, sweet with a bit of tartness, refreshing and crisp like an apple. The fruit is medium & uniform in size, globular lopsided in shape, green to pale yellow when ripe, with smooth creamy white flesh. It ripens in mid-August after Shinsui and before Hosui. Fruits hang on the trees well. Although tree ripening is best, you may have to compete with birds, insects and bugs but its heavy bearing may give you a slight edge.

Shinseiki trees are vigorous, healthy and spreading not not as susceptible to fire blight as many regular pears. Thin the fruit heavily to singles for best fruit size. Clip or cut off when thinning or harvesting to avoid pulling the stem out or damaging the fruit.

Shinseiki means "New Century" in Japanese, and since it is similar in appearance to Twentieth Century, perhaps this is why it was so named. It was released in 1945.

About Asian Pear:

Asian pears are often called apple pears because they are crisp like an apple, but have a pear-like flavor and aroma. Asian pears have been grown commercially in Asia for centuries. In Japan about 500,000 tonnes are grown and some fruit is exported to the United States in October and November. China and Korea also grow these pears for domestic consumption and export to the United States and Canada.

While slightly exotic, they are relatively easy to grow. Most trees cultivated for home gardens are dwarf varieties that reach only 8' to 15' tall. Popular types include Shinseiki, Atago, Kosui, Hosui, Niitaka, Yoinashi, Shinsui, Korean Giant and Shinko.
