The name pear is derived from Latin, pera or pira, with some variants like in French as poire, in German as a peer, and Greece as acres as wild type and apios as cultivated pear. Pears are fruits produced and consumed around the world, growing on a tree and harvested in the Northern Hemisphere in late summer into October.
