About Shinko Asian Pear

The Shinko Asian pear is a late-ripening variety distinguished by its beautiful golden-bronze russeted skin and crisp, firm flesh with a sweet, butterscotch-like flavor. It differs from popular varieties like Hosui and the 20th Century pear primarily through its high resistance to fire blight, a disease that often plagues other Asian pears. Additionally, the Shinko is known for its superior shelf life, capable of staying crisp for three to four months in cold storage.

Flavor Profile

While popular varieties like the 20th Century pear are prized for a delicate, watery mildness, the Shinko offers a richer, more robust sweetness that is often described as having distinct notes of butterscotch or spice.

Uses

The Shinko Asian pear is best enjoyed fresh out of hand or sliced into salads to showcase its signature crisp texture, though its rich, sweet flavor also makes it an excellent pairing for savory cheeses and charcuterie boards.

Tree Sizes

Selecting the right tree size for your property is important. From large orchards to compact patios, we offer options to fit any growing space. At maturity, our trees fall into one of three size categories*:

Dwarf tree size

Dwarf

Reaches approximately 8-10 feet in height and spread. Perfect for limited spaces while still producing full-sized fruit in generous quantities.

Semi-Dwarf tree size

Semi-Dwarf

Grows to roughly 12-15 feet tall and wide. Offers excellent fruit production for its footprint, and most harvesting can be done without a ladder.

Standard tree size

Standard & Unmarked

Typically reaches 18 feet or more at maturity. Ideal for those wanting both abundant fruit harvests and natural shade coverage.

*Actual sizes may vary depending on the specific variety.
