Pear trees usually grow taller and more upright with glossy, pointed leaves, while apple trees are more spreading with softer, slightly hairy leaves. Pear blossoms are usually pure white; apple blossoms are often pink on the outside.

Wild and feral apples are usually edible, though often sour, but always confirm the identification first because some ornamental fruits look similar. Don't eat anything based on an app result alone, and avoid trees near heavily sprayed areas.

Apple seeds contain amygdalin, which can release cyanide when crushed and digested. Swallowing a few whole seeds is not considered dangerous for people, but pets should not be given apple cores.

In most temperate regions apple trees flower in spring, roughly April to May, a little after pears and cherries. The fruit ripens from late summer to late fall depending on the variety.
