Wild pear
Pyrus pyraster
Wild pear is a deciduous tree best suited to outdoor gardens with deep, well-drained soil and at least six hours of sunlight daily. Water regularly during its first few years to establish a strong root system, then reduce watering as it becomes more self-sufficient. Annual pruning in late winter will help maintain structure and encourage healthy fruiting.
