There is a large pear tree in the former pasture behind the farm in Dakota 
County, Minnesota.

Its trunk is about 40 inches in diameter. It towers above the other trees 
around it.

The beautiful display of white flowers got my attention this spring.

The fruit are a couple inches long, pear shaped and green when they fall from 
the tree. Hard but tasty.

It does not match callery pear nor Ussurian pear.

Any way to figure what kind of pear we have?
