Nashi trees are widespread in Asia. But even in Europe, the delicious apple pears can be kept in your own garden. There are a few things to keep in mind if you want to harvest a lot of nashis.

Which location do Nashis prefer?

  • As sunny as possible
  • loose soil
  • Wind-protected location
  • Keeping buckets is possible

Basically, Nashis prefer the same site conditions as pear and apple trees.

Nashis are hardy and tolerate temperatures down to -20 degrees.

When is the best planting time?

Nashis grow quickly, so the best time to plant them is early summer. After planting, you need to water sufficiently.

What should the soil be like?

  • humor
  • Not calcareous
  • Without waterlogging
  • Deeply relaxed

A mulch layer prevents the soil from drying out, otherwise the Nashi must be watered frequently and vigorously.

How big does the planting distance have to be?

Nashis can be wonderfully grown as trellis fruit. The distance between the trees should be between 1.50 and 2 meters.

When is the Nashi pear ready to harvest?

Depending on the variety, the harvest begins in August and lasts until September. Refined nashi trees bear fruit from the second year, trees grown from seeds need at least three years before the first harvest.

Many infructescences develop on the inflorescences. They are separated except for two fruits so that they have enough space to grow.

Nashis have to be cut back vigorously on a regular basis.

Are nashis self-pollinating?

Not all nashi varieties are self-pollinating. A place near a "Williams Christ" or "Gellert's Butter Pear" is favorable for fertilization. Otherwise, several Nashi trees must be planted.

How are Nashi pears propagated?

The easiest way to propagate is to graft the shoots. Well suited as a basis are quince trees.

Nashi trees can also be grown from seed. It must be ensured that the seeds have gone through a cold period in order to reduce the germination inhibition. In spring they are sown in pots and lightly covered with soil.

As a rule, nashis germinate quite quickly and can be kept as a container plant in the first year. They should not go outdoors until their second year.
