Pear Trees

About

European Pear Trees Pyrus communis A European pear tree is an excellent addition to the backyard or orchard. Although slow to start bearing, pears are hardy and reliable producers requiring less attention than other types of fruit trees. Each of these varieties requires a pollinator. Asian Pear Trees Pyrus pyrifolia Resembling their more-familiar European cousins, Asian pears are distinct in their texture and mild flavour. The fruit is often larger and sometimes round in shape like an apple. Each variety requires a pollinator.
