I think that there is bit of confusion. The apple-pear that many seem to thin is cross between an apple and a pear is called the Nashi or "Apple-pear" the reason is because of the resemblence to an apple; in shape and texture nothing else.

From Wikipedia:

The Nashi Pear, Sand Pear or Asian Pear (Pyrus pyrifolia) is a species of pear native to eastern Asia, where it is widely grown for its edible fruit. It is often referred to as the Korean Pear, Japanese Pear or Taiwan Pear. These are juicy, round pears that are shaped like apples. Because of the resemblance, they are sometimes known as "apple pears". They are a popular fruit, eaten as a thirst quencher. They are sweet on the tree and are eaten crisp.

Nashi Pear flowers are white with five petals; they flower around April. The fruit is harvested in fall and nashi may be used as an autumn kigo, or "season word", in writing haiku.

Note that in Japanese, Nashi (梨) is the word for the Japanese apple-pear, while European Pears (Pyrus communis) are called Yōnashi (洋梨), which is literally Western Nashi. See also the similar Ya Pear (Pyrus bretschneideri), grown in China.

Fire Blight of Apple and Pear



What is Fire blight?
Fire blight is a destructive bacterial disease of apple and pear, recognized by a severe blighting of blossoms, shoots, limbs and fruit. It also affects several ornamentals in the same family such as hawthorn, mountain ash, cotoneaster, quince and firethorn. Outbreaks of fire blight occur periodically in British Columbia pear orchards. Fire blight has also been an increasing problem in high density apple plantings of newer, more susceptible varieties.
