Overview

The Pyrus pyrifolia 'Shinseiki' is a deciduous fruit tree, typically reaching 10-20 ft with an equal spread. Known for its attractive white spring blossoms and glossy green leaves, this Chinese Sand Pear produces round, crisp, and juicy yellow fruits by late summer, ideal for fresh eating. It prefers full sun and well-drained soil. Hardy to USDA zones 5-9, it's self-fertile but benefits from cross-pollination for abundant fruiting.
