The Kikisui Asian Pear Tree (Pyrus pyrifolia ‘Kikisui’) is a prized Japanese variety celebrated for its refreshing sweetness, crisp texture, and unique flavor. Its name, meaning "Chrysanthemum Water", reflects the delicate, clean taste and exceptional juiciness of its fruit. Medium to large in size, Kikisui pears ripen to a pale greenish-yellow with smooth, thin skin and tender, crisp white flesh. The flavor is mildly sweet with floral notes, making it one of the most refreshing Asian pears available. Excellent for fresh eating, fruit platters, or adding a crisp bite to salads, Kikisui pears are also valued for their good storage ability when kept chilled. This midseason variety typically ripens in August to September, bridging the gap between early and late pear harvests. Hardy in USDA Zones 5–9, the Kikisui Asian Pear Tree grows 12–15 ft. tall with proper pruning, forming a rounded canopy that adds ornamental value to the landscape. In spring, it bursts into clusters of showy white blossoms that attract pollinators, followed by glossy green foliage that transitions to yellow in autumn. While partially self-fertile, Kikisui yields heavier crops when paired with other Asian pear varieties such as Hosui, Shinseiki, or Korean Giant. With its crisp, refreshing fruit and graceful presence in the garden, the Kikisui Asian Pear Tree is an outstanding addition to home orchards and edible landscapes.
