Pyrus communis 'Blanquilla' is a popular variety of pear that is prized for its sweet, juicy flesh and delicate flavor. This variety is believed to have originated in Spain and is now widely cultivated in many parts of the world, including Europe, North America, and Asia.
The Blanquilla pear has a medium to large size and a distinctive bell-like shape with a slightly elongated neck. The skin of the pear is thin and smooth, with a greenish-yellow color that may have a slight blush of red on the side facing the sun. The flesh is crisp and juicy, with a sweet, slightly tangy flavor that is often compared to that of a pineapple.
Blanquilla pears are typically harvested in late summer to early fall, and they are best when eaten fresh. They can also be used in a variety of culinary applications, including baking, poaching, and canning. When selecting Blanquilla pears, look for fruits that are firm but yield slightly to pressure, with no visible signs of bruising or damage.
Overall, Pyrus communis 'Blanquilla' is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a flavorful and versatile pear that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways.

About Us
During this time, we have developed a large stock of trees, mature evergreen shrubs, conifers, Japanese maples, cedars and olives. What sets us apart from a generic garden center is solid unwavering focus on trees and some bigger shrubs. You will find thousands of trees, hundreds of varieties and lots of experts who are working on the nursery and more than willing to help you to choose a plant for you.
What you will not find is hot tubs, garden furniture and plastic garden gnomes. In a nutshell, trees is what we know and trees is what we do, and only trees (and some shrubs to go with the trees).
