Pyrus korshinskyi, also known as the Kazak pear or Bukharan pear, is a wild species of pear tree native to Central Asia, including Afghanistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan. [1] [2] The Kazak pear is in the genus Pyrus ( Rosaceae). The IUCN categorises the pear as critically endangered, with it surviving in remote areas with threats including over grazing, harvesting, and use for rootstock. [3] Genetically the pear has potential use for reducing the impact of disease on domesticated pears. [2]
