Hosui Asian Pear Tree – Pyrus pyrifolia ‘Hosui’

Hosui Asian Pear is a popular Japanese pear variety known for its round, golden-brown russeted fruit and crisp, juicy, sweet flavor. Often called an apple pear because of its crunchy texture, Hosui is excellent for fresh eating, slicing, salads, lunchboxes, and edible landscapes.

This Asian pear tree produces fragrant white spring blooms, attractive green foliage, and flavorful fruit that ripens in summer. Hosui is a great choice for home orchards, backyard gardens, edible landscapes, and fruit tree collections in North Florida and other warm Southern areas where the chill requirement can be met.
