{"product_id":"20th-century-asian-pear-tree-a83bcs","title":"20th Century Asian Pear Tree","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 20th Century Asian pear, also known as Nijisseiki, is celebrated for its crisp, juicy texture and delicate, mild sweetness. This golden-yellow fruit has a smooth, thin skin and a rounded shape, resembling an apple. Ideal for fresh eating, its refreshing crunch and light flavor make it a favorite for snacks or adding a sweet touch to salads and desserts. The tree is self-fruitful but benefits from a pollinator, such as Hosui or Shinseiki, for increased yields. Requiring moderate chill hours, 20th Century Asian pears thrive in full sun and well-draining soil, adapting well to a variety of climates. With its reliable harvests, beautiful spring blossoms, and high-quality fruit, this variety is a delightful and versatile addition to any orchard.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSemi-dwarf on OHxF333 rootstock.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eZones: \u003c\/strong\u003e5-10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChill hours: \u003c\/strong\u003e300-400\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom Time: \u003c\/strong\u003eEarly Mid-Season (Based on typical Central Valley California weather)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHarvest: \u003c\/strong\u003eAugust 5 - August 25\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLooks: \u003c\/strong\u003eApple-shaped, medium gold skin.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePersonality: \u003c\/strong\u003eJuicy, sweet, mild-flavored, crisp like apple.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFacts of note: \u003c\/strong\u003eThe best flavored, most popular Asian pear in Japan and California.
