Nashi Pear
China, Japan
-
end of August
The Nashi Pear is notable for its round, apple-like appearance. It originated from crossbreeding native Chinese pears that were previously unknown to the rest of the world. Nashi positively influences the human body by promoting water excretion and reducing the accumulation of toxins. Interestingly, it also mitigates the effects of alcohol. Nashi Pear is most commonly consumed raw, peeled, and can be added to fruit salads or eaten on its own. It contains 50% less glucose than typical pears, making it suitable for diabetics. The skin of Nashi pears is very delicate and easily damaged, which makes transport challenging.
The flesh has a unique flavor. The skin is generally not eaten, although it is edible.
The fruit is round, large (about 4 cm), covered with a hard, rough skin, and resembles an apple. Its color ranges from brownish to golden yellow. It grows on a long stalk, is speckled with light spots, and contains a few dark seeds.

Diseases affecting Nashi Pear include fire blight and brown spot. Pests include wasps, aphids, and pear flea beetles.
You can purchase seedlings of Japanese Pear Nashi at our garden center in the nursery located at Gornjem Crnjelovu, Glavna 65a.
Upon collection of the goods (seedlings), the Agromedžik nursery no longer has the possibility of supervision or care, and therefore cannot provide any further guarantee. Since seedlings are living beings, it is not possible to give a guarantee even a day after they leave the nursery. We cannot influence their maintenance and care, and consequently their further growth and development.
Our plants regularly undergo phytosanitary and vegetative inspections, therefore we do not have diseased or infected plants.
Planting is done from late October to mid-April, avoiding periods of frost and drought.
Trim the roots, then the branches into 3 to 4 rings. At the beginning of March, cut the seedlings to a height of 80 - 120 cm.
Before planting, soak the plant in water for at least 2 - 3 hours.
Dig a hole, in the previously prepared soil, measuring 60 x 60 x 50 cm for the soil (40 x 40 x 40 cm) so that the roots and part of the stem are well placed, taking care that the grafting point is outside the soil.
Place the plant in the hole and cover it with dry soil, gently press it down so that it gets well between the roots.
Fertilizer and seedling roots must not be in direct contact.

Pour with 20-30 liters of water. During periods of drought in the first year of planting, it is necessary to water young seedlings more often.
Containerized seedlings can be planted throughout the year.
*Applies to bare root seedlings.
