Nashi Dual: Nijisseiki / Hosui

Attractive Deciduous Growth: Nashi pear develops a neat, spreading form with fresh green foliage that provides a lush display through the warmer months. Its attractive branching and seasonal growth make it a useful addition to the home orchard.

Crisp & Juicy Fruit: This dual-grafted tree combines two popular Japanese nashi varieties, Nijisseiki and Hosui. Both produce round, crisp fruit with refreshing juiciness and a naturally sweet flavour, making them excellent for eating fresh.

Two Varieties on One Tree: Growing Nijisseiki and Hosui together provides the opportunity to enjoy different fruit characteristics from a single tree. The combination also offers useful cross-pollination between compatible varieties, helping support a reliable crop.

Excellent for Home Orchards: A practical choice for backyard gardens, kitchen gardens, smaller orchards, and sunny areas where space is limited. A dual-grafted tree allows you to grow two varieties without needing separate trees for each.

Sun-Loving & Easy Care: Nashi performs best in full sun with fertile, well-drained soil and consistent moisture during active growth and fruit development. Pruning helps maintain a manageable shape and encourages productive growth.

Beautiful & Productive: With spring blossom, attractive summer foliage, and an abundance of crisp, refreshing fruit, this dual-variety nashi provides both ornamental appeal and a delicious harvest for the home garden.
