About Pear, Pyrus communis L.

The pear tree belongs to the family of the Rosaceae; its scientific name is Pyrus communis. It is a piramidal tree, round during its youth, that can reach up to 20 meters of height, although the modern varieties are trees of small size, in order to facilitate the tasks of culture and harvesting.

It lives an average period of 65 years. The trunk is high, thick and of grayish colouring, with a cracked bark and deep roots. The pear tree sprouts before the apple tree, and the flowering begins in the middle of March. It is very sensitive to spring frosts, although it bears temperatures of -20ºC during the winter. It prefers silty, healthy, aerated and deep soils.The leaves are oval, whole or in some cases finely indented. The flowers are white and sometimes pink, and they are grouped forming corymbs of 9 to 11 flowers. They are hermaphrodite, that is to say, each flower has both sexes. The fruit is called pomo, of variable shape and colour, although it is usually elongate and of green or yellowish skin, with few black and small seeds.
