    What are Pears?

    Pears are delicious and sweet fruits with juicy flesh. The term “pear” actually describes several trees and bushes in the genus Pyrus, of the larger family Rosaceae.

    Pears are thought to have originated in China and are native to Europe, North Africa, and Asia. They have been a part of many diets for thousands of years, and have been found in Celtic literature, Roman history, and Chinese lore. They can grow easily in places with temperate, cool climates that make them very versatile and easy to cultivate.
