Difference Between Pear Tree and Peach Tree

1. Different leaves

The leaves of the pear tree are oval in shape, with tips on the top and serrated edges. The young leaves that first grow are green or red, and then turn green after they unfold.

The leaves of the peach tree are ovate-lanceolate or round-lanceolate in shape, relatively narrow and long, about 8-12 cm long, about 3-4 cm wide, and have very fine serrations on the edges.

2. Different flowers

When the pear tree blooms, it has a receptacle, and there is a petiole between the flower and the branch. The flowers are white in color and have relatively small petals, which make them look small and cute. The petals on top are round and regular.

Peach blossoms are quite different from pear blossoms. They do not have receptacles and can bloom directly on the tree trunks. The flowers are pink in color and the petals are relatively large.

3. Different fruits

The fruits of pear trees come in many shapes, including round, oblate, oval, etc., and are mostly yellow or brown in color, but there are also green, white and other colors.

The fruits of peach trees are generally spherical or oval, with a diameter of about 5-7 cm. They are white-green before they are ripe, and turn pink when they are ripe.
