Pear,
common name for about 20 species of trees of a genus in the rose family, and
for their fruit. The common pear is native to Europe; the Chinese sand pear is
native to the Orient. Both species are extensively cultivated for their fruit
in cool, humid, temperate regions throughout the world.
Under cultivation, standard pear trees attain heights of up to
9 m (30 ft), with trunks 30 cm (12 in) or more in diameter. The leaves are
oval and simple and, unlike those of the apple, smooth and glossy. The white
flowers, which are borne in umbels, have five sepals, five petals, many
stamens, and a single pistil. The fruit is a pome, juicier than the apple, and
varying from apple-shaped to teardrop-shaped. Among different varieties, the
thin skin varies in color from light yellow and green through red and brown.
The thick flesh varies in flavor among different varieties.
