Pyrus communis 'Bosc' is a vigorous pear tree highly prized for its elongated fruit with rough bronze skin and dense, juicy, finely flavored white flesh, ideal for fresh eating, baking, desserts, and canning.

With an upright to rounded habit, the 'Bosc' pear tree integrates harmoniously into a residential orchard, an edible garden, or a sunny landscape, and ensures reliable production year after year.
