Ya Li Nashi
Asian Pear
 
Fruit ripening time: March - April
 
An excellent nashi, which is very juicy with a mildly sweet flavour and mild acid. 
 
Fruit are medium in size and have a more pear-like shape than other Nashi varieties. The skin is an attractive light yellow-green and shiny. The flesh is white and is softer than other Nashis but is still crisp and has a fine texture.
 
Trees are vigorous and spreading. Will produce well once they reach fruit bearing age. Requires low chill hours. 
 
Uses: Good fresh eating. Great for preserves, can be used in salads, baking, and juicing. Will store moderately well in the refrigerator.
 
Pollination Partner: 20th Century Nashi, Chojuro, Shinsui, Williams
