Oriental Asian Pear

Unusual bronzy-yellow orbs dangle from this glossy-leafed tree, making the Oriental Asian Pear (Pyrus pyrifolia) such a sight to behold! Having all the wonderful landscape value as a spring flowering tree, it's also a beautiful shade tree and winter interest as well!

Covered with white blossoms in the spring, the blooms attract a host of pollinators. Pear trees have deep-green leaves with delicate toothy edges, offering summer shade with their pleasing oval form in the landscape!

Burnished yellow with speckled skin when ripe, these round fruits are smooth and thick-skinned. The white, creamy flesh is silky with a mild, sweet flavor! A fantastic pear for cooking, sliced fresh into your fruit salad or onto your breakfast cereal.

Planting and Application:

Fall brings a color display to your garden as the foliage takes on autumn hues of reds, burgundy and a touch of purples. Dropping the leaves in winter to display the handsome bark and branching structure!

Forming a handsome tree at maturity, these are fantastic ornamentals. Sized to perfectly fit into any sized yard or home orchard, you can prune these smaller yet to shade patios and seating areas. Orient is self-fertile but does best with a pollinator partner such as another Asian Pear.
