'''''Pyrus nivalis''''', more commonly known as the "snow pear", is a type of pear that grows naturally from south-east [[Europe]] to western [[Asia]]. It primarily grows in open areas where there is some sun. Like most pears, it produces fruit that can be eaten raw or cooked and has a mild sour taste. The plant usually grows in temperatures slightly below 15° [[Celsius]]. The plant itself is very colorful and may grow to a height of up to 10 meters and a width of about 8 meters. It is a very hardy plant that is able to withstand a small supply of water or very high or low temperatures.
