SHINKO ASIAN PEAR TREE CARE The Shinko pear tree begins to ripen in mid-August through mid-September. It is exceptionally pest and disease resistant especially to fire blight. The Shinko prefers full sun and is adaptable to a variety of soil types but prefers well-drained soil. A slow-release fertilizer applied to the top of the root ball every spring will help with the flowering, fruiting, and growth of the pear tree. Apply fertilizer at the base of the tree every year once the pear tree starts producing fruit. This tree will require around 450 chill hours for best results and is partially self-fertile. The Shinko pear will benefit and produce better from cross-pollination if planted next to other Asian pear varieties like the Shinseiki Asian Pear. The Shinko pear tree size is up to 12-15 feet tall and wide at full maturity making it an excellent choice for home gardeners with limited space. Prune pear trees in late winter or early spring before fruiting begins. Prune scaffold branches for air circulation, prune back dead or diseased branches, and prune too many fruits on one branch as heavyweight can break the branch. Only prune the central leader to maintain desired size and shape. These are dwarfing rootstocks shipped already rooted out in the soil. These are not bare-root trees. Water thoroughly the first year of planting as young trees to establish strong root systems. Mulching with organic matter or compost will help retain moisture as these fruit trees need lots of water to produce fresh pears. Do not mulch above the graft union. Growing pear trees is easy and fun. The apple-pear-shaped fruit will not disappoint! Shop the Shinko Pear trees for sale for delicious fruits year after year and an easy-to-grow fruit tree.
