Pyrsu communis Beurre Bosc is an attractive deciduous tree, much valued for its crops of edible fruit and blossoms of pinkish flowers.
With a broad domed canopy and conical outline this makes a great shade or avenue tree.
Blossoms of pink flowers are borne on spurs and are followed by the tasty fruits.
The fruits of this variety have coarse, brown skin and are great for cooking.
N.B. Pears are dioecious, so it's necessary to have both a male and female tree for fruit production.
