Pyrus Rode William  

The Pyrus 'Red William' is a lovely kind of pear tree that brings a pop of colour to any garden with its vivid, crimson-blushed fruits. Pears from this tree are smooth-textured, juicy, and sweet; they're great eaten raw or in desserts. The white blooms of the 'Red William' make a dramatic display against the newly sprouting deep green foliage when they bloom in the early spring. This type is appropriate for most temperate areas and requires only light pruning, making it reasonably easy to maintain. It grows best in rich, well-drained soil and should be planted in a sunny location for maximum fruit output.
