Environment description: Larger leaves and larger fruit than typical P. salicifolia. Other hybrid trees nearby, but no cultivated pears within many kilometers. Presence of many Malus, Pyrus and Prunus trees suggest that this may have been a landrace orchard in ancient times. 3 overripe fruit, hanging vertically on peduncle picked from one tree. One larger overripe fruit, about 4cm long, was found stuck between branches on another tree.
Comment: Large fruited P. salicifolia hybrid
