NASHI
PEAR
Generally the Asian or Nashi
pear will grow anywhere apples will grow and should be treated similarly.
They are hardy to frost but frost pockets should be avoided. Areas
where strong winds are a problem should be avoided as this will
cause fruit drop. Pear Willian Bon Chretien can be used to assit
pollination and hand pollination is also successful.
