This pear has been imported to the U.S. primarily from Japan and is most often seen in the Sacramento Valley of California and scattered throughout the fruit orchards of Oregon and Washington states. The Shinseiki adapts well to readily available rootstocks like Bartlett, and typically dwarfs the larger, more robust stock tree sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThese very winter hardy pears may tolerate cold to 20 degrees below zero,\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ebut are best suited for areas that don't regularly dip below 10 degrees. If you plant a Shinseiki, or any Asian pear, in a colder climate (i.e. the central Pacific pf-northwest), it will be hardiest if it was cultivated on a cold-hardy stock like Old Home; in southern climes, this pear can be grown from almost any stock type.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhile growing Asian Pears is a developing plant science, experimental programs conducted by University of California, Davis indicate they do best in one-variety patches in cold climates, and interspersed with other cross-pollinating Asian or European varieties in southern zones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCultural Practices and Commercial Viability\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMost Asian pears are susceptible to a variety of diseases and pests, all of which can be mostly or entirely controlled by organic cultural practices. For example, fireblight can be managed through pruning the damaged and infected limbs and keeping pruning tools disinfected.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOverly deep soil can cause crown rot, so avoid thick loam. Coddling moth is one Asian pear pest that is likely to require insecticide treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor maximum crop production during early-to-mid-season harvest (July through August in most areas), you'll want to make sure your Shinseiki(s) get ample water, but never have soggy roots in poorly draining soil. They also tend to over flower, so thin bud clusters to leave just a few flowers on each.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"fast-growing-trees","offers":[{"title":"2-3 feet","offer_id":52218075578650,"sku":"shinseiki-asian-pear-tree-2-3 feet","price":25.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3-4 feet","offer_id":52218075611418,"sku":"shinseiki-asian-pear-tree-3-4 feet","price":51.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4-5 feet","offer_id":52218075644186,"sku":"shinseiki-asian-pear-tree-4-5 feet","price":33.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5-6 feet","offer_id":52218075676954,"sku":"shinseiki-asian-pear-tree-5-6 feet","price":40.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6-7 feet","offer_id":52218075709722,"sku":"shinseiki-asian-pear-tree-6-7 feet","price":48.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0995\/7149\/9290\/files\/797b5cc236831803d33a75f145d6aa4e.webp?v=1778749436","url":"https:\/\/fast-growing-treesmall.com\/products\/shinseiki-asian-pear-tree-fast-growing-trees-shinseiki-asian-pear-tree","provider":"fast-growing-treesmall","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
