Nashi probably come from a region ranging from North China over Korea along to Japan. Botanists assign the Nashi Pear to China, the Nashi Apple to Japan.
Nashi are related to our domestic apples and pears. The trees also resemble each other; they are raised in plantations on trellis and kept on scarcely 2 ms in height.
The odour is described as mixture from pears and the apple variety Golden Delicious. The taste is sourish-sweet with flavour of pears and a whiff of sweet apples. Rough-shelled nashis have more aromatic taste than smooth-shelled.
The Asian Pear — Nashi — is represented world-wide with over 100 varieties. In flavour the fruit resembles the pear and in shape rather the apple, although it is not related to it.
Like our domestic pome fruit the fruits grow in all moderate areas with warm summers and cold winters. There are cultivation in plantations in Japan, in Korea, New Zealand, Australia, in the USA, Chile and in Europe. Nashi-Apples are cultivated for exportation only. From August to October nashis are imported from Spain as from Italy and France, from October to January from Japan, from October to May from Korea and from February to August from New Zealand.
