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 fast, making it the best planting season for early summer. After planting you must water enough.
How should the soil be?
A mulch cover prevents the soil from drying out, otherwise the Nashi must be poured frequently and vigorously.
Which size must the planting distance be?
Nashis can be wonderful as a trellis fruit pull. The distance between the trees should be between 1.50 and 2 meters.
When is the Nashi pear ready for harvest?
Depending on the variety, the harvest starts in August and lasts until September. Refined Nashi trees already bear from the second year on, seed-grown trees need at least three years to the first harvest.
At the inflorescences, many inflorescences develop. They are isolated except for two fruits, so they have enough space to grow.
Nashis need to cut back vigorously on a regular basis.
Are Nashis self-pollinating?
Not all Nashi varieties are self-pollinating. Favorable for fertilization is a place near a "Williams Christ" or "Gellerts Butterbirne". Otherwise, several Nashi trees must be planted.
How are Nashi pears multiplied?
Propagation is most easily done by refining the shoots. Well suited as a basis are quince trees.
Nashi trees can also be pulled from seeds. Care must be taken to ensure that the seeds have passed through a cold period to reduce germ inhibition. In spring, they are sown in the pot and lightly covered with soil.
Usually Nashis germinate quite fast and can be kept in the first year as a container plant. In the field they should only in the second year.
