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