Long Lived Pear Tree..

The pear tree will continue bearing
fruit for several centuries. Trees
bearing fruit In abundance when at
least 300 years old are not uncommon.
They are much longer lived than the
apple, which rarely lasts more than
100 or $50 years. The pear tree also
grows much larger than the apple
and when 200 years old has often the
dimensions Of a forest tree.
