Nashi Dwarf KOSUI

Grows 2-2.5m x 1.5m-2m  Dwarf Trees need staking

Kosui is a Med/ large, crisp, juicy Nashi with a sweet, tart flavour .

Skin is yellowish green in colour and round in shape. Fruit should be allowed to ripen on the tree for best flavour and texture.

Matures Late February.

Also called an Asian Pear – Nashi is round like an apple, but with more crunch and tang.–  They’re semi self fertile, meaning you’ll get some fruit on the tree, but they benefit from having another tree close by for cross pollination which will result in more fruit.

Pollinators for 20th century include Hosui and  20th Century. Kosui will also benefit from Bartlett, Winter Nellis and Sensation as pollinisors

The Nashi Pear is a low chill fruit, meaning you have more chance of fruit production if you’re in a warmer spot.  They have less chilling requirements than a traditional pear. The Nashi tree is a heavy cropper. Thinning out of the fruit may be necessary to ensure good size fruit and to prevent young branches from snapping from the weight of the fruit.
