Pyrus Tawara (Tawara Asian Pear)

Tasty yellow Asian pears Upright, oval form White flowers in spring Yellow fall color

This fruiting Asian pear, grown mainly for its edible fruit, has an upright oval form with glossy green foliage which looks great all season long. White flowers in spring make way to the unusual dark tan to light brown fruit, tasting like a cross between apple and pear, with a crispy texture.  Excellent for fresh eating or canning.
