Raintree Nursery Fruit Feature: Yoinashi Asian Pear!

Yoinashi, meaning "good Asian pear", is an improvement on the already world famous Shinseiki Asian pear. Larger and more flavorful, this is a variety that every Asian pear lover need in their collection!

Makes me even more glad to have bought one last year. Looking forward to getting fruit in a few years.

Thanks for these great fruit features! Adding this one to my wishlist 🙂 When does it ripen?

[@paul.1337]

About 2-4 weeks after Bartlett or ~3/4ths the way through pear season. Depends where you are and the weather that year as to when.

Asian pears in the store are all water and crunch but no flavor...what's a great tasting intricate AP

[@paul.1337]

If the ones in the store aren't lightly sweet then you're eating unripe ones. Chojuro is butterscotchy. Some other varieties have a rum flavor. If juicy, crunchy, mild pear-flavored, and lightly sweet isn't something you're interested in you probably aren't interested in Asian pears.
