Asian or 'Nashi' pears can be grown in all forms. Standard trees make large heavy cropping trees at 12ft or so after 10 years,Cordons and Espalliers train very well and easily,often utilising walls not suitable for other fruit. Having said that they benefit from sheltered well drained sites to produce top quality fruit. The Nashi or Japanese pear is firm with white flesh and a yellow or russet brown skin.Also known as a snow pear, it has crisp flesh with an aromatic flavour.The texture is more like an apple than a pear without the grainy feeling. When ripe they will be firm,having a delicate fragrance, eaten raw or gently poached. Rich in vitamin A and fibre. Stores well in the fridge for several weeks. Click on Cultural Advice to read more...
