One of the UK's rarest trees, the Plymouth Pear gets its name from the area it was originally found growing in 1870. It can now be found in areas of Western Europe but in the UK is currently thought to survive in just two wild hedgerows in Plymouth and Truro. Originally it may have been a widespread component of mixed deciduous woodlands.
