General Information
The Chinese White Pear (Pyrus x bretschneideri) is a naturally-occurring interspecific hybrid species of pear native to northern China, where it is widely grown for its edible fruit. These very juicy, white to light yellow pears, unlike the round Nashi pears, also grown in eastern Asia, is shaped more like a European Pear with a narrower, elongated base. They taste like a cross between a rose and a pineapple and are crisp and sweet from the tree.
