Key Characteristics

• Crisp, Sweet Flavor: Shinseiki Asian Pear produces medium-sized, golden-yellow fruits with a smooth, thin skin and a delightfully crisp texture. Its mild, sweet flavor is perfect for fresh eating, fruit salads, and light desserts.

• Early Ripening and High Yields: Ripening in mid to late summer, Shinseiki provides one of the earliest Asian pear harvests. Its high productivity ensures a reliable crop of high-quality fruit year after year.

• Self-Fertile with Enhanced Yield from Cross-Pollination: Shinseiki is self-fertile, meaning it can produce fruit without a pollination partner. However, cross-pollination with other Asian pear varieties like Hosui or Chojuro can improve fruit size and yield.

• Beautiful Spring Blooms: In early spring, Shinseiki is adorned with clusters of fragrant white blossoms, attracting bees and other pollinators. These blooms make it a visually appealing choice for orchards and mixed garden plantings.
