Found this pear-tasting fruiting tree but could not tell f it is the cultivated or the wild. (or that bambinella delicious fruit) Fruit not ripe though hed the sandy palate and faintly taste like pear. Found at protected cliffs area.
Most probably a feral Pyrus communis. But rosaceous trees are notoriously difficult, especially due to widespread hybridisation and the presence of numerous cultivars and hybrids between cultivars are are often found growing in a feral state.
Thanks, on the positive side I can go and pick some juicy pears from this Pyrus communis (or hybrid). I wonder if wild pears have a good taste like cultivated/commercial pears ?
