The Common Pear, Pyrus communis, is probably not a native of Britain, at least in the form commonly found. These trees are descendants of naturalized orchard pears, derived originally from hybrids between the Wild Pear and other species from southern Europe. The truly wild form, found in southwestern England, is Pyrus cordato, which has little 3cm leaves deeply heart-shaped at the base and globular brown fruits speckled white. The Common Pear is occasionally found wild in hedgerows and at the edges of woods and may be thorny.

Next comes 'Taihaku' with the biggest flowers of any cherry, often 7cm across, single, opening from a pink globular bud to pure white, beneath dark red unfolding leaves. It had been lost for 200 years in Japan, but a dying tree was found in a Sussex garden in 1923 and all the trees now in the world derive from this one. 'Ukon' opens its flowers primrose yellow beneath khaki brown leaves at about the same time.
