Pear
Pyrus communis
The common pear tree thrives in full sun to partial shade and requires well-drained, fertile soil with regular deep watering during the growing season. Annual pruning in late winter helps maintain shape and encourages fruit production. Pear trees typically need a compatible pollinator variety planted nearby to set fruit reliably.
