Pyrus pyrifolia ' Kumoi' (Nashi Pear)
These distinctive pears, also known as Asian Pears, resemble russet apples in appearance. They have a very crisp white flesh with a mild strawberry flavour & are excellent as a dessert or salad fruit. They can be stored in the fridge for some time. The trees are strong growing with attractive tinted foliage. A beautiful rich golden finish gives this Nashi pear added ornamental value. The flavour is better than other varieties & the fruit can be stored for many weeks in the fridge.
