Pyrus communis

Category: Deciduous — Common pear

Pyrus communis is an upright, deciduous fruit tree with a later, often spreading growth habit, which can reach a height of 8-10 meters. From April to May, it blooms with fragrant, white, clustered flowers. In autumn, the leaves turn yellow or orange-red, creating a beautiful autumn display. Pyrus communis thrives in a sunny location with well-drained, fertile soil. This tree is very suitable for orchards, large gardens, and as a specimen fruit tree. The tree is very winter-hardy and moderately to highly resistant to diseases and pests. The fruits are edible and can be used as eating pears or stewing pears.
