Dwarf Shinko Asian Pear Tree
Pyrus pyrifolia 'Shinko' is a compact Asian pear variety that produces heavy crops of round, golden-brown fruit with crisp, juicy flesh and a mild, sweet flavor. Unlike European pears, Asian pears are harvested and eaten when fully ripe and firm, offering a refreshing crunch similar to an apple.
