The Nijisseiki Asian Pear is an absolutely delicious variety that produces an abundance of juicy yellow fruit. The fruit grown on a Nijisseiki tree is arguably the sweetest and juiciest Asian Pear produced today. In fact, these little pears are so juicy that their flavor and texture is actually much closer to a watermelon than traditional pears. Not only is Nijisseiki cold hardy down to -20° F, it also lives quite comfortably in warm southern states. This makes Nijisseiki not just the most adaptable Asian Pear tree, but also 1 of the most adaptable fruit trees known today.
