Amazing Spring Flowers and Huge Fruit
The Pear, Orient, Pyrus communis, is good for cooking as well as having great landscape value as a flowering spring tree. The trees grow huge, as do the fruits.
The Orient pear ripens in August, having the reputation of being the heaviest bearing pear tree. Pears have shiny deep green leaves offering summer shade and are covered with white blossoms in the spring.
Well-drained sandy loam soils are preferred, but pears will grow on many soil types if good drainage is provided. Pears will grow more vigorously and produce more fruit in full sun.
