Three pears
Positioned perfectly for this pear portrait, stitching these ripe specimens against a green-shaded background will be an enjoyable treat.
About Pears
Pears are native to coastal and mildly temperate regions, from western Europe and north Africa east right across Asia. They are medium-sized trees, often with a tall, narrow crown. Like that of the related apple, the pear fruit is a pome, in most wild species 1-4cm diameter, but in some cultivated forms up to 18 cm long and 8 cm broad; the shape varies in most species from oblate or globose, to the classic pyriform 'pear-shape' of the European Pear with an elongated basal portion and a bulbous end.
Design based on 3 pears by Susan Murtaugh (CC BY-ND 2.0).
