As one of the most sought-after varieties of Asian pears, Kosui remains a favorite in both home gardens and commercial orchards. Kosui ripens early in the growing season, typically from late summer to early fall. They should be harvested when firm and allowed to soften slightly for peak sweetness. Known for their excellent storage qualities, Asian pears can be kept in cool, humid conditions for several weeks without sacrificing texture or flavor. The fruit is round and slightly flattened, with smooth, russeted skin that matures to an eye-catching bronze hue. Inside, the ivory-white flesh is exceptionally crisp and juicy, delivering a delightful crunch with every bite. Kosui’s flavor is richly sweet, with notes of honey, vanilla, and a hint of butterscotch that makes it truly irresistible. Kosui pear trees are relatively compact and highly productive. While partially self-fertile, Kosui trees produce higher yields when cross-pollinated with other Asian pear varieties like Hosui or Chojuro. Hardy in USDA zones 4 through 9. Show more
