The Akizuki pear is a pear variety originally from Japan.
In Japan in 1991, it was selected by crossing Niitaka with Hosui, and then crossing that with Kosui. In 1998, it was officially registered as a variety. The fruit is oblate, weighs around 500g, and the skin is yellow-red-brown with a clean surface. The flesh is white and soft-textured, with a soluble solids content of 12%. It has a delicate, fragrant taste. It ripens in late September, 10d later than Hosui and 7d earlier than Niitaka. The tree is vigorous, with few flower buds on short fruiting branches, so artificial pollination is required. The flowering period is the same as that of Hosui, the fruit set rate of white flowers is low, and it has good productivity.
