20th Century (Nijisseiki) Asian Pear Trees are self-fertile. You will get fruit with only one plant. However, adding an additional 20th Century (Nijisseiki) Asian Pear Tree will drastically increase the size of your crop.
Planting & Care
1. Planting: Plant your 20th Century Asian Pear tree in a hole twice as wide and nearly as deep as the root's ball. You'll need to place it in a spot in your garden that gets full sun. If you get frost in the spring, be sure to cover your plant and provide a small heat source like a lamp. The 20th Century will need around 400 hours of chill time in temperatures above freezing.
2. Watering: Water your tree once weekly, or ensure that the surrounding two inches of soil stays moist but well-drained.
3. Fertilizing: Use a fruit-specific fertilizer every spring and follow label instructions.
