How do you plant a nashi tree?
Plant a bare-root nashi while dormant, avoiding frozen or waterlogged ground. For a pot-grown tree, favour autumn or spring and avoid intense heat. Choose sun, well-drained soil and enough space for the stated mature size. Check compatibility and flowering time if you need a pollinating tree.
Dig a hole wider than the root ball or roots, without doubling planting depth. Set the tree at its original depth and keep the graft union above ground. Backfill, firm gently and water. Use a stake with a flexible tie if needed, then mulch without covering the trunk. Monitor moisture while the tree establishes, without leaving standing water.

How to care for this plant

Maintain the mulch
Check the ground cover around the base. If the mulch has thinned, top it up on moist, well-drained soil after removing competing weeds. Keep the trunk, crown and graft union clear; add nothing if the existing layer is sufficient.
