Pyrus Coriacea

Whitebeam, scientifically known as Pyrus coriacea, is a hardy and resilient tree native to Europe and western Asia. It is often mistaken for its close relative, the common pear, but it possesses unique characteristics that set it apart. With its rough, bark-like trunk and clusters of small, edible fruits, the whitebeam is both ornamental and useful in natural habitats. This species thrives in a variety of soil types and is particularly valued for its ability to withstand harsh environmental conditions. Its historical and ecological significance makes it an important subject for botanists and conservationists alike.
