Kikusui Asian Pear is a fruiting deciduous tree with a showy spring flowering grown for its juicy late summer fruit.  The large round fruits have frim crisp flesh similar to an apple with a sweet-tart flavor that has a hint of lime.  Grows best in full sun and rich, moist well-drained soils. Kikusui is fireblight resistant.

Asian pears keep their texture when cooked, and store for long times. Kikusui needs a cross-pollinator- suggested partners Ishiiwase or 20th Century-  and has a low chill requirement of 400-500 hours.
