'20th Century' Japanese Pear Tree | Nashi Pear

Tastes as good as it looks

The Highlights

    • A highly ornamental and edible Nashi pear also known as the 20th century pear
    • Easy to grow and reliable, with heavy crops
    • Spherical fruits have crisp, white flesh with a mild and aromatic flavour
    • Not self fertile - needs a pollination partner
    • Mid season harvest from August to October
    • Our trees are professionally pruned before dispatching. This formative pruning can involve cutting the main leader, if the expert tree growers decide this will produce a better shaped tree. This can stop the tree becoming "leggy", and promote stronger, bushier growth.MORE
