Why 20th Century (Nijisseiki) Asian Pear Trees?
Everything about this tree is great. The 20th Century Asian Pear, or Nijisseiki as it is often called, is the perfect ornamental fruit tree for your yard. The fruit is incredibly delicious, nutritious, and easy to grow. As an added benefit, you'll get a show-stopping ornamental during every season.
Asian pears bring together the best of the apple and pear into one fruit. The 20th Century Asian pear smells just like a pear, but, like an apple, the outside of the fruit is crisp, firm, and round. The flavor is like a pumped-up pear, sweeter and warmer, but the flesh is smooth and incredibly juicy.
Why Fast-Growing-Trees.com is Better
Unlike many other fruit trees, you don't need to fuss with the 20th Century Asian Pear. With only a little pruning, you'll have a bountiful harvest of fresh, ripe fruit every single year. The harvest is simple because you can just pull the pear right off the tree and eat it.
You'll get more and more fruit every single year. The harvest of the 20th Century Asian pear grows over time, so you'll start out with a small harvest in the 2nd season and then every single year you'll likely get double or triple the fruit you had from the previous year. The Nijisseiki is self-fertile, but if you plant it alongside the other pear trees in your yard, each tree will produce even more harvest!
Start growing your sweet, juicy pears today. You don't want to miss the opportunity to have this tempting fruit in your garden. With very little effort, you'll get so much in return. Asian pear trees are becoming more popular each year, so don't miss out on your chance to find out why!

Yay healthy asia pear tree
6 foot robust s leaves & pear blossoms— sprouting lotsa new branches already at the the one week mark.
Juicy and Sweet
The best tasting pear so far, I just planted this tree last year 2022 , it is so juicy and sweet , I love it . Thank you FGT.
So healthy and robust!
Did not expect such a robust specimen! I’m excited to transplant this tree. The tree is currently acclimating to our backyard. I’m waiting for cooler temperatures for transplanting.
Beautiful!
The tree's trunk and branches are sturdy, with the tree itself taller than 5 feet like I wanted, as well as having dense green leaves. The tree's roots were safe and secured in a wetted dirt pot ziptied inside a plastic bag, and I love the pamphlet that came with my order. While there were some Fabraea leaf spots, minor trunk splitting, and the shipping (which is out of their control) causing 3-4 inches of one of the side branches to break off, I look forward to buying from Fast Growing Trees again soon. I'm very happy and excited with my purchase.
