Pyrus Rufoferruginea

Red ironwood pear, scientifically known as Pyrus rufoferruginea, is a rare and resilient tree native to the mountainous regions of Central Asia. It is characterized by its dense, dark bark that resembles ironwood, giving it its striking common name. This plant thrives in harsh environments, often found in rocky soils and high altitudes where few other species can survive. Despite its tough exterior, the Red ironwood pear produces small, edible fruits that are valued for their unique flavor and nutritional content. Its ecological importance and ornamental qualities make it a subject of interest for botanists and conservationists alike.
