Missionary Samuel Marsden brought the first Pear and Apple trees to New Zealand and planted them at the Church Missionary Society settlement at Kerikeri. One of the original Pear trees, planted in 1819, still survives. A tree planted by the Stone Store in Kerikeri is thought to be the oldest Pear tree in New Zealand at 189 years old.

I’ve been trying to source Pear for some time now and I’m super excited to offer this to you now. My friend Louie from Mangawhai Honey has helped me source this first batch. It’s not from an orchard, it’s from a child care center where they grow their own fruit and vegies. It has never been sprayed.
