The pineapple pear tree, also known as the Asian pear or Nashi pear, is a small to medium-sized deciduous tree that produces a delicious, juicy fruit. At maturity, a pineapple pear tree typically grows to a height of 12 to 15 feet (3.7 to 4.6 meters) and a width of 10 to 12 feet (3 to 3.7 meters). The tree has a spreading, rounded growth habit with a dense canopy of oval-shaped, dark green leaves that turn yellow in the fall.

In the spring, the pineapple pear tree produces clusters of white flowers that are attractive to bees and other pollinators. The fruit of the pineapple pear is typically ready for harvest in late summer or early fall and is a round, yellow-brown pear with a crisp, juicy texture and a sweet, pineapple-like flavor.

Pineapple pears are known for their high sugar content and are often used for making jams, jellies, and other preserves. They are also delicious eaten fresh and can be used in a variety of culinary applications, including salads, desserts, and baked goods. Pineapple pear trees are easy to grow and require minimal maintenance, making them a great choice for home gardeners and orchardists alike.
