The Asian Double-Pear Twist Tree is a rare addition to any landscape, offering both unique and practical solutions to limited space and exquisite taste. Using the same grafting techniques as our Fruit Jubilee trees, two different Asian Pear varieties are now growing on just one tree! These varieties are a blend of Chojuro, Hosui, Nijisseiki, Shinseiki, and even a European Comice pear.
There are many benefits to growing the Double Asian Pear Twist tree, including:
- The unique varieties pollinate each other! When before you needed to reserve space for at least two trees, this tree takes up much less precious room in your landscape!
- The different varieties of Asian Pears create a beautiful tree because they are all different shades of green, golden-brown, and yellow. Also you get to enjoy a variety of pears all season long because they ripen at different times! Now when one crop is done, another pear with a completely different flavor will be ready to enjoy!
- If you enjoy baking and cooking with Asian Pears or just plain fresh eating then this tree gives you the opportunity to try all kinds of different recipes and flavors!
