Feral Pears

Feral pears

Feral refers to something that was once domesticated but has returned to the wild. Feral pears are most common along roadways, where people have thrown pear cores out the window and they have germinated. They are easy to recognize because there isn't anything else out there that looks and tastes like a pear. So no worry about misidentifying it. For more on feral pears, check out this video.
