Pyrus spp. / Pear / 梨属植物

  • Introduction
    Pyrus spp is typically a deciduous tree or shrub, with very few varieties being evergreen, belonging to the Rosaceae family in the order Rosales. The leaves are mostly ovate in shape, varying in size depending on the variety. The flowers are white, sometimes tinged with yellow or pink, and have five petals. The fruit comes in various shapes, including round and what is commonly referred to as "pear-shaped," with some having a narrower base and thicker end. The color of the fruit skin varies greatly among different varieties, ranging from yellow, green, yellow-green, green-yellow, yellow-brown, green-brown, red-brown, to brown, with some individual varieties even having a purple-red hue. Wild pears typically have smaller fruit diameters, ranging from 1 to 4 centimeters, while cultivated varieties can reach diameters of up to 8 centimeters and lengths of up to 18 centimeters.
