Common Pear Tree – Hardy, Fruit-Bearing Tree for Home Gardens
Description
The Common Pear Tree (Pyrus communis) is a long-lived, deciduous fruit tree prized for its sweet, juicy pears and ornamental appeal. This classic heirloom variety is perfect for home orchards, backyard gardens, and permaculture landscapes. The tree produces delicate white blossoms in spring, followed by delicious, aromatic pears in late summer to early fall.
With its cold-hardiness and adaptability, the Common Pear Tree thrives in temperate climates and requires full sun, well-drained soil, and a second pear tree for cross-pollination to ensure high fruit yields. Ideal for fresh eating, preserving, or baking, this non-GMO variety is a must-have for fruit lovers and sustainable gardeners.
