Full Description

The edible fruit produced in autumn is usually sweet and quite delicious but because it’s a wild tree, so the fruit will vary. If fruit aren’t sweet when fresh use them for jam.

The Wild Pear (Pyrus Communis) is a small to medium deciduous tree but also a great hedge plant. Plant the hedging 3 plants per metre. Typically used in a mixed native hedge and the small edible fruits are popular with birds and squirrels. Pyrus Communis will reach 20 metres if it grows freely as a tree.
