PEAR TREE

The pear tree (genus Pyrus) is a deciduous tree widely cultivated for its edible fruit, the pear. Pear trees typically grow between 4 to 15 meters tall and have broad, ovate leaves with white or pinkish flowers that bloom in spring. Pear fruits vary in size, shape, and color, ranging from green and yellow to red hues, and are valued for their sweet, juicy flesh and slightly grainy texture. They thrive in temperate climates with well-drained soil and require careful pruning to maintain health and productivity. Pears are eaten fresh, canned, or used in cooking and baking, and the wood of pear trees is also prized for fine woodworking.
