Pyrus regelii – Pyrus regelii

View prices and availability
Rare wild pear that naturally occurs in south-eastern Kazakhstan (Turkestan). The crown is ovoid to rounded. Young twigs have white velvety hair and stay this way into the winter. Two-year-old twigs are purplish brown and thorny. The trunk is dark greyish brown: leaves are variably shaped. The leaves are usually oval to elongated with a slightly serrated edge. They can also have 3 – 7 sometimes deep lobes that are irregular crenated to serrated. The bright white flowers bloom in small umbels, with a diameter of 2 - 3 cm. Small yellowish green pears follow in the late summer. Pyrus regelii generally produces ample fruit, making it less suitable for planting along streets and avenues. It is better for use as a solitary tree in parks and gardens. Places little demands on the soil. Tolerates paving. Pyrus regelii is an uncommon pear tree with twigs covered with a grey felt-like layer. This is a remarkable characteristic especially in the winter.
