Hosui Asian Pear – Dwarf Variety
Pyrus pyrifolia ‘Hosui’
The Dwarf Hosui Asian Pear brings all the crisp, sweet goodness of the full-sized Hosui but in a compact, space-saving tree ideal for smaller gardens, patios, or even containers. This tree produces the same high-quality fruit with the signature russet-bronze skin and juicy, crunchy texture that makes Asian pears a favorite. Its crisp, apple-like texture paired with the sweet pear flavor makes it a versatile choice for fresh eating, baking, or adding to salads.
Despite its smaller size, the Dwarf Hosui is a reliable, high-yielding variety that’s perfect for home orchards with limited space. It’s an early to mid-season producer, with beautiful spring blossoms and a strong disease resistance, making it a low-maintenance and high-reward tree.
Light: Full sun — 6–8 hours per day for best fruit production
Soil: Well-drained, fertile, loamy soil with slightly acidic to neutral pH
Watering: Moderate — water deeply during dry spells but allow soil to dry between waterings
Fertilizing: Apply balanced fertilizer in early spring to support fruiting
Pruning: Prune in late winter or early spring to shape the tree and remove dead or crossing branches
Pests/Disease: Resistant to common pear diseases, making it a low-maintenance tree
Spring: Beautiful white blossoms that attract pollinators
Summer: Fruit develops, maturing with a juicy, crisp texture
Fall: Harvest season — pears ripen in late summer to early fall (August–September)
Winter: Dormant season, prune and prep for the next growing cycle
Mature Size: 8–10 ft tall (dwarf)
Spacing: 6–8 ft apart
Hardiness Zones: 5–9
Pollination: Requires a pollination partner (such as Chojuro or Shinseiki)
Harvest Time: Late summer to early fall (August–September)
Fruit: Round, russet skin with sweet, crunchy flesh
Why Grow Dwarf Hosui:
Ideal for small spaces, patios, or container gardening
Sweet, crisp fruit with low-maintenance care
Cold-hardy and resilient in a range of climates
Great for fresh eating, baking, or preserves
