Pyrus pyrifolia
Shin Li is a very large to large fruit with a full-bodied pear shape (pyriform). Firm, white crisp juicy flesh and a sweet, yet tart flavor. The skin is light to yellowish-green. Tree is upright, with slightly spreading growth and resistant to fire blight. Storage life can be 5 to 6 months. Developed at UC Davis and is a cross between a Chinese pear variety and a Japanese pear variety. We have a favorable report on this variety from A J Bullard of Mount Olive NC. Korean Giant and Shin LI are his best fire blight resistant pears. Space 10' circle for semi dwarf and 15' for standard tree size.
