The Shinseiki Asian Pear (also known as the “New Century” pear) is a crisp, refreshing variety prized for its outstanding fruit quality and reliability. The fruit is round and apple-like in shape, with smooth bright yellow skin that gives it a striking golden appearance at maturity.
Inside, the flesh is firm, juicy, and crunchy, offering a refreshing texture similar to an apple. The flavor is sweet with a light tartness, perfectly balanced for fresh eating. Shinseiki pears are also excellent for salads, preserves, and baking, as their firm texture holds up well after slicing.
A dependable producer, Shinseiki begins to bear fruit in just 2 to 3 years after planting. It is self-fertile, so a single tree will produce fruit, though planting with another Asian pear variety can increase yields. The harvest season is late August through early September, giving you a bounty of golden pears as summer winds down.
This variety requires about 350–450 chill hours, making it adaptable to a wide range of climates, and thrives in zones 5–9.
