A pear is any fruit tree of genus Pyrus and also the name of the tree's edible pomaceous fruit.[1] It closely related to the apple, both members of the Rose family (Rosaceae).
Wandlore
The golden-toned wood of pear produces wands of splendid magical powers, which give of their best in the hands of the warm-hearted, the generous and the wise. Possessors of pear wands are, in the experience of the learned wandmaker Garrick Ollivander, usually popular and well-respected and he never knew of single instance where a pear wand has been discovered in the possession of a Dark witch or wizard.[2]
Pear wands are among the most resilient, and it is noted that they may still present a remarkable appearance of newness, even after many years of hard use.[2]
