A Latest Comprehensive Roundup of Common Pear Varieties

As a deciduous tree, the pear is one of the must-have fruits at home. It is usually grown for eating; its flesh is sweet and delicious, crisp and juicy, and it is also rich in vitamins and other nutrients. Moreover, different varieties of pears not only differ in skin color, but their taste also varies greatly. Below, let us introduce the common varieties of pears.

1. Snowflake Pear

Not only does it taste excellent when eaten, it also has very obvious effects on clearing heat and detoxifying, promoting bowel movements and relieving coughs. It is one of the products most planted by growers, with good sales; it sells well not only domestically but is also exported to many Asian countries, and is praised as the “Number One Pear in the World.”

2. Ya Pear

The Ya Pear is an old variety from Wei County, Hebei Province. Because of the protrusion at the pear head near the leaf stalk, which looks like a duck's head, it became known as the Ya Pear. It has strong adaptability, high yield, and tolerates transport and storage. It is rich in vitamin B and has effects such as protecting the heart, lowering blood pressure and relaxing the muscles and joints. The Ya Pear is also a relatively common variety on the market, and its planting prospects are very good; its national sales are not much different from those of the Snowflake Pear, and growing Ya Pears is also a good project.

3. Apple Pear

The Apple Pear is mainly produced in Jilin Province. Because it is rather flat and round, with skin that is yellow tinged with red, much like an apple, it is called the Apple Pear. It is produced in Northeast China, and the fruit is cold-resistant and high-yielding, with crisp and refreshing flesh, and is called the “finest of the northern pears.” It is nutritious, containing vitamin C, B1, calcium and other nutrients, and has effects such as dispelling dampness and relieving pain, reducing internal heat and promoting bowel movements. Apple Pears all over the country originate from Jilin. If you want to grow pears, it is not advisable to grow Apple Pears, since after all the competition is greater.

4. Korla Fragrant Pear

⟦NL>As the name suggests, the Korla Fragrant Pear is produced in Korla, Xinjiang. Among all the varieties, the Korla Fragrant Pear is smaller in size and oval in appearance, but it is fragrant, very juicy, thin-skinned, refreshing and nutritious. Its water content reaches 90%. In the Xinjiang region, it can not only be eaten raw but also made into pear wine, pear paste and other foods. It has effects such as clearing heat and detoxifying. However, it is not advisable to take the Korla Fragrant Pear as a planting direction, because the Korla Fragrant Pear is produced in Xinjiang and cannot adapt to the environment in other regions. This will affect quality and sales.

The above four are the relatively common pear varieties in daily life. Pears have a series of effects such as clearing heat and detoxifying, reducing internal heat and promoting bowel movements, and they also have a good effect on the body's metabolism. However, if you want to plant on a large scale, the editor suggests choosing between the Snowflake Pear and the Ya Pear, because the latter two may have greater requirements for the environment and cannot grow normally.
