Hug This Tree: Pear
We’re not going to focus on any one pear tree - I like almost all of them. In fact, I’m a little obsessed with pears. They’re maybe my favorite fruit. In college, I’d eat 3 or 4 a day. Why are pears so cool…
- My favorites are Green Anjou. I know it sounds odd, but they taste like flowers to me; so super yummy is a pro.
- Pears are healthy! Fiber, vitamin C, and more, make pears a healthy snack, plus they’re filling. If you’re watching your weight, just one is more filling than many other foods.
- Portable: I hate that you can’t cut an apple and eat it later; you can, but it doesn’t stay so fresh. You can cut up a pear, carry it around all day in a container, and it’s still just as good when you eat it.
- You can make lots of cool treats with them. I like them plain best, but there are plenty of good recipes out there for the adventurous - in fact this Lavender Pear Cupcakes with Vosges Bianca Ganache recipe looks pretty good - pears + lavender - what’s not to love?
- There are enough pear varieties to make everyone happy.

Pear trees:
Established pear trees are an easy tree to maintain. My grandma had one that she did nothing with and each year we had mountains of pears. Most are very pretty in bloom too. I like that the leaves are so thick and hearty - my grandma and I used to make cool things with the leaves, and they’re hard to tear.

Pears are also eco inspiring as you can see with this dreamy LED light pear tree. I’m dreaming of this for the holidays by the way.
