Shinseiki,New Century, has pale green new leaves and the mature fruit has a slight rusty peel color. Nijiseiki,20th Century, has new leaves with a little pale red color in them and the mature fruit is more golden yellow that fruit of Shinseiki. Both need thinning of fruit to get good size fruit.

Subject: [NAFEX] Asian Pear Variety Question

Does anyone have both Shinseiki and Nijiseiki asian pears?  (In English one is New Century

and the other 20th Century, but I don't remember which is which).  I have both

grafted onto one tree, but have lost track of which is which.  One I have noticed

has a slight reddishness to its new growth while the other does not.  If anyone

has these, could they look at their trees and let me know which is which?  I don't think

trying to identify the fruit itself will be very useful as I believe the fruits are very similar.

 

Thanks,
