A pear tree planted by a pilgrim in 1630 is still bearing fruit centuries later. An English Puritan named John Endicott planted the sapling in Plymouth Rock, Massachusetts. Mr Endicott had followed the Pilgrim Fathers who landed at Cape Cod in 1620 to start a new colony.

Today, Endicotts pear tree still stands having survived multiple hurricanes, earthquakes, suburban sprawl and even attacks by vandals. |
