pear plant chinese white pear plant Pyrus x bretschneideri Rehder Pyrus × bretschneideri (or *Pyrus ×bretschneideri*), the ya pear or pearple or Chinese white pear, is an interspecific hybrid species of pear native to North China, where it is widely grown for its edible fruit. Along with cultivars of *P. pyrifolia* and *P. ussuriensis*, the fruit is also called the nashi pear. These very juicy, white to light yellow pears, unlike the round Nashi pears (*P. pyrifolia*) that are also grown in eastern Asia, are shaped more like the European pear (*Pyrus communis*), narrow towards the stem end.
