Pyrus

The genus Pyrus contains around 45 species of shrubs and upright trees from Asia, Europe and North Africa. They have attractive 5-petaled flowers that can be white or pink and that are sometimes unpleasantly scented. The fruit can be round or pear-shaped. Many cultivars have been bred specifically to produce these food crops. The ornamental species are indicated to grow at roadside or even in a small garden, maybe also as an espalier.

Some species have good autumn color and delicious fruit. They are adaptable to various soil types and grow in full sun. Pyrus can tolerate mostly any fertile and well-drained soil. Its propagation works like this: sow seed during fall, bud during summer and graft during winter.

Pyrus communis is a typical fruit of the temperate regions. It had its origin and domestication at two different points, which are China and Asia Minor until the Middle East. It is the fifth most widely produced fruit in the whole world, being produced mainly in Europe, China and the United States.

It has a delicate and pleasant taste, very smooth, with a wide acceptance throughout the world. Because of its shape, it often inspires architects and designers. It is normally consumed in natura, pies and cakes.
