Pyrus pyrifolia

Also known as Nashi Pear, Sand Pear, Japanese Pear, Oriental Pear

Asian pear trees burst into dense clusters of five-petaled white flowers each spring before pushing glossy, finely serrated green leaves. The rounded pome fruits develop a characteristic russeted or speckled skin while maturing on sturdy spur branches. High autumn sun turns the foliage brilliant shades of bronze, orange, and deep red across temperate landscapes.
