The Semi-Dwarf Nijiseiki Asian Pear Tree is known for its crisp, juicy, round pears with pale yellow-green skin and sweet, delicate flavor. The fruit is excellent for fresh eating, salads, and light cooking, prized for its refreshing crunch and long shelf life. This semi-dwarf tree has a moderately compact growth habit, making it suitable for smaller orchards, home gardens, and patios. In spring, it produces clusters of fragrant white blossoms that develop into smooth, round fruit ripening in late summer.
Mature Height: 12-15 feet
Spacing: 12–15 feet apart
Interesting Information:
Nijiseiki pears are prized for their crisp, sweet, and refreshing flavor and are one of the most widely grown Asian pear varieties worldwide.
This variety is partially self-fertile, but planting another Asian pear variety nearby, such as Hosui or Shinseiki, improves fruit set and yield.
The fruit has a long shelf life and maintains its crisp texture when stored in cool conditions, making it ideal for home storage or small-scale sales.
The tree is a reliable producer and typically bears fruit within 2–3 years of planting.
Fragrant spring blossoms attract bees and other pollinators, supporting strong fruit development.
The semi-dwarf size balances manageable tree height with higher production than a dwarf variety, making harvesting easier than full-sized trees.
Grow Zone: 5–9
