The Manchurian Pear is a popular and highly adaptable tree, widely grown across Australia for its year-round ornamental appeal. In spring, it bursts into life with masses of delicate white blossoms, creating a stunning seasonal display. As the seasons progress, the tree develops lush, glossy green foliage. The oval leaves, edged with fine serrations, provide dense summer shade before transforming dramatically in autumn. At this time, the canopy turns a rich, deep red, delivering a striking display of colour. Following the spring bloom, small fruits appear. While generally not enjoyed by humans, they are a valuable food source for birds and other wildlife. Versatile and reliable, the Manchurian Pear is ideal as an ornamental feature, shade tree, specimen planting, or for use in avenues, farms, and streetscapes.

Soil: Well-drained soil. Water in well and keep the soil moist until the tree is established. Fertilize when planting and again after new growth appears. Prune the tree when planting to encourage new growth.
Conditions: Full sun to part shade. Frost hardy and can tolerate dry periods though fruiting will diminish

An evergreen tree with deep green, rounded foliage and thorny stems, Rainforest Pearl displays pale white-pink flowers in summer, followed by aromatic, finger-shaped fruits tinged green-red. Rainforest Pearl will begin to ripen but not fully on the tree. Once picked, leave the fruit for five to ten days to completely ripen. Inside the fruits are filled with small pearls of tangy juice, which have a wonderful texture and flavour and are perfect for seafood, Asian cooking and cocktails.
