Last week I was taking care of the chickens and visiting with the horses when I noticed with my stepdad that along with the apple tree out back there was a pear tree. We found lots of pears on the ground and decided that it was a pear tree. How many of you have seen one of these trees?
There are a variety of kinds of pear trees, today I am going to tell you about two of the many. Dwarf pear trees can exceed eight feet in height and can be grown indoors and in pots. Dwarf pear trees do not produce less fruit or not as good of fruit in fact, they produced just as good quality fruit. Standard par trees can reach up to twenty feet in height. Standard pear trees cannot be grown inside or in a pot, they are commonly wider than the dwarf trees.
Now that we know about the trees, how about the fruit. Have you ever had pears? Well when they are fresh picked they are juicy, and sweet and to me taste so good. One medium size pear contains twenty seven grams of carbohydrates which will provide you with energy. This fruit also contains two hundred and eight grams of potassium which is one of your daily necessities. This also contains iron, calcium, Vitamin A, and Vitamin B-6. This sounds pretty good to me.
In conclusion, I know not everyone sees one of these trees every day and not every one like them but, they are great for your health like most fruits and the trees are really pretty. If you see one of these trees or further research it I would love to hear about. I hope you have enjoyed and learned something from my scientific discovery.
