"Nashi" of "nashi no tsubute" use the kanji, "梨," which means a kind of fruits, "Pyrus pyrifolia," but it just a metaphor for "nashi" (無し), which means nothing.

梨の礫
連絡をしたり便りを出しても、返事が来なかった経験はありますか？
このように、返事が来ないことを日本語で「梨の礫」と言うことがあります。
「梨の礫」の「礫」は主に武器として投げる小石を意味します。
投げた小石（礫）は返ってこないことから、応答が無いことを「梨の礫」と表現するようになりました。
「梨の礫」には果物の「梨」という漢字が使われていますが、これは何も無いという意味の「無し」に掛けた語呂合わせのようなもので、特別な意味はないそうです。
