bare-root trees
Pyrus pyrifolia
Summer.

Kikusi × Kimizukawase. Hort Res Stn, Yatabe, Japan, 1967.

Medium-sized round-oblate yellowish-brown russeted fruit with crisp juicy fine-textured very sweet flesh. One of the earliest to ripen each year. Pennsylvania grower and Asian pear aficionado Ike Kerschner considers this a great pear. Keeps about 6 weeks in refrigeration. Shinsui is translated as ‘new water,’ ‘adoration,’ ‘inundation’ and more. It is also the pseudonym of one of Japan’s most famous 20th-c. artists, Ito Shinsui (1888-1972). Z4/5. (3–6' bare-root trees)
