Family: Rosaceae (known as rose by us)
The pear most likeky originated in the country of Georgia, as there are a variety of wild pears there. But maybe it's Kazakhstan, since apples originated there. The Asian pear looks very similar to an apple. Asian pears could be a hybrid between wild pears from the Caucasus and wild apples of Central Asia.
A "prickly pear" is not actually a pear.
The pear prickle virus (PPV) is believed to have originated in Asia, where it is endemic to various pear species. It is primarily transmitted through aphids and can affect pear trees, leading to symptoms such as leaf curling and fruit distortion. The virus can spread rapidly, particularly in regions where susceptible pear varieties are cultivated. Its discovery and characterization have helped in understanding its impact on pear production and management strategies.
the pear gets rotton and the roots of the pear die . it cant be prevented or treated because when the roots die it can never come back to life
