The orange yellow to red flowers can appear at anytime of the year as long as the plant is mature enough. Occasionally, it even produces small edible fruit with a reddish tint.
Although the early spring flowers are beautiful and the fruit is attractive, the Pyrus communis is normally grown only for its fruit crop and not as an ornamental.
This is a beautiful vine with bluish green attractive arrow-shaped, glaucous leaves, and bearing superbly beautiful, large, bell-shaped flowers, approximately 7cm/3 in long and 5cm/2 in wide.
