Depending on the Nashi variety, the skin of ripe Nashis turns yellowish or rusty brown. The flesh is white-yellow and gives a little under pressure.
Why is it if the Nashi pear does not bear fruit?
- Flowers were not fertilized
- Infructescence not thinned
- Missing pruning of the tree
- Frost period during the flowering period
Not all varieties of the Nashi pear are self-fertilizing. If your nashi isn't wearing it, it could be because the flowers weren't fertilized.
Therefore, place the nashi near a pear tree. It is of course even easier if you plant several Nashi trees in the garden at the same time. Then the chances of fertilization are the best.
Regularly thin out Nashi fruit clusters
Numerous small fruits develop on the inflorescences. They cannot all mature. Surplus fruits must be removed.
To do this, break out all but two of the fruit clusters as soon as they are the size of a cherry.
You need to prune back a nashi tree regularly. Only then can new shoots develop on which Nashi pears grow.
Harvest and consume Nashis
Nashis do not ripen. Therefore only harvest ripe apple pears. To do this, carefully twist the ripe fruit out of the inflorescence. Be careful not to press the nashi too hard.
Apple pears can be stored for several weeks. They can be eaten with the skin on, but it is a bit tart. The aroma of the fruit is reminiscent of pear and melon, but is not as intense depending on the variety.
Nashis are best enjoyed peeled raw in a fruit salad or compote. They are also easy to process into jam.
Tips & Tricks
Nashi pears are not only delicious. Even in spring, the trees pamper the gardener with many white flowers, which give off a wonderfully sweet, aromatic scent. In autumn the foliage turns reddish and looks very decorative.
