Inedible nashi?

    3 responses

Muse Views starts with ...
Hi,
In the suburb of Preston, Vic. we have many trees on our naturestrip of the one variety.
They appear to be Nashi pears but they also seem to be inedible.

I cannot find what they are.
It is an issue around here as the fruit drop all over the place and not even the birds want to eat them.

They are outside the s(t)upermarket, the bank, on the residential streets, everywhere.
Why the council chose them is a complete conundrum. And they don't send anyone to pick them up - year after year.

Help me! I would love to help change this dumb thing. I personally, would love there to be more free food in the world. I understand we would need to manage issues around it but I reckon we could deal with it.

Thanks in advance
Muse.

Probably a flowering pear or more likely crab apple. Take a picture. You can make jam from crab apple. Why waste money picking them up, they will decompose with time and go back to the soil like every fruit does

Ornamental pears(Himalayan?) are pretty common nowadays, fruit looks like golf ball size nashi. I have heard of people grafting fruit types onto ornamental street trees.Nashi might be ok on orn. pear ?

I had a himalayan pear and found that if you leave the fruit on a windowsill for a few days they do soften and become pleasantly edible. A little gritty but not too bad. They drop while still hard but develop a pleasant aroma and flavour after a while.
