Asian Pear 'CHOJURO'

Asian pear 'Chojuro'

'Chojuro' is an old and valued Asian pear variety originating in Japan. It stands out for its round, brown-golden fruits, crisp, juicy flesh and rich, sweet flavour with notes of caramel and buttery toffee. An excellent choice for anyone seeking a productive fruit tree with a distinctive flavour.

The fruits ripen in late summer to early autumn, usually from late August through September. Asian pears are eaten straight from the tree, so you can enjoy 'Chojuro' immediately after picking; the fruits are crisp, refreshing and very juicy. When stored properly in a cool place, they can keep for several months.

The tree is productive and prefers a sunny location and well-drained soil. It is one of the most disease-resistant pear varieties and does not suffer from rust.
