The Meaning of a Pear Tree

Longevity, justice, strength, fruitfulness & salvation…the meaning of a pear tree.

Recently, I updated my site header to include a pear that I painted as a part of my “Partridge in a Pear Tree” art licensing collection. It is now going on my new run of business cards. So, I got to thinking, what does a PEAR or PEAR TREE symbolize anyway? Since it is an embedded part of my updated branding I just had to find out.

There are many articles on the meaning of a pear tree from different countries and cultures (here is one from eHow), but this is the sum of what the PEAR represents:

  • longevity
  • justice
  • strength
  • fruitfulness
  • salvation

Not, bad. Definitely all things I aspire to in my illustration career, especially when it comes to making art and helping my clients. So, I think I will keep it around for a while.

    Hi Cherish,
    First seeing the name – very deep yet beautiful…

    My wife and I are doing foto shoots with a team of wedding planners, photographers, a stylist at a venue covered with many huge pear trees. It makes sense to me now why so many pear trees at this wedding venue.

    Well, I mentioned to my wife a possible new name to consider for our daughters to be:)

    Your illustration business with kids and marketing seems very interesting/compatible towards our calling amongst the poor and very much the children.

    Peace with you and your ministry.

    Hi Cherish,

    I love your pears! It’s great that pears represent some wonderful things in life like longevity, justice, and strength. When I see an illustration or photo of pears, they always look pleasent & peaceful to me…don’t know why, they just seem to pull me that direction. When I took a gander on-line just now, I also found that they represent “a comfortable life”. Sooo…wishing you many “happy pear” moments, Cherish!:o)

    Hugs,
    Vicki

      Hi Vicki,

      Thanks for your sweet response. Yes, they always seem peaceful and friendly to me as well. A “comfortable life,” I love it! You know, today is my birthday, I think I’ll have a pear for the fun of it. See you around Vicki!

      Many “happy pear” moments to you too!

      Cherish
