Asian Pear Tree, 4 Unrooted Cuttings 7-8 Inches
This listing is for Four (4) Asian Pear Tree, Unrooted Cuttings for Rooting and Grafting.The Asian pear tree (Pyrus pyrifolia) is part of the Rosaceae family, which includes several fruit trees such as plums and peaches. The Asian pear produces copper-colored, rounded fruits that are a few inches long. The fruits are juicy like a pear but crunchy like an apple—hence the reason they are sometimes referred to as “papples.” They can be eaten raw or cooked. The tree features dense green foliage in a pyramidal or rounded shape. The foliage turns a red or burgundy color in the fall. And showy cup-shaped flowers appear in the spring that stretch around 1 to 3 inches across. This tree has a fairly speedy growth rate and is finest planted in the spring after any danger of frost has passed. USDA 5–8.
