Product Description

*

Pyrus communis or European Pear (wild pear) is from the Rosaceae family. Native to central and eastern Europe and southwest Asia.

The Pyrus is often found in large field, on the side road and close to villages. Standard trees typically grow to 25-30 (less frequently to 60 ) tall.

Although the early spring flowers are beautiful and the fruit is attractive, the Pyrus communis is normally grown only for its fruit crop and not as an ornamental. Aromatic, with 5 conspicuous petals, creamy white flowers in corymbs appear in early spring, March/April, on spur-like branchlets. Flowers give way to edible, pear-shaped fruits that ripen during the summer.

Hardiness zones: 4-8, (-32?C/-25?F, -10?C/15?F) in winter. Pears generally perform best in cool, dry climate. Best grown in well-drained, humusy loams, with medium moisture in full sun. Tolerant of heavy clays.
