The white orchard of Europe and western Asia
Native to Europe and western Asia, the Pear tree covers itself in a snow of white flowers each spring before yielding its melting fruit in late summer.
Grown since antiquity across the Mediterranean basin, it needs a cool enough winter to set fruit and rewards patience with generous harvests for decades.
"The Pear tree blossoms like snow and harvests like honey."
