woodpear

English to Spanish Other Gaming/Video-games/E-sports
(...)picked a few woodpears and crabapples from the orchard.

Now, I know that crabapples exist but I have found no reference to woodpears so I wonder if this is made up and I should simply use 'pears'.

Any help appreciated.

At any rate, the text is referring to wild pears I believe. As in, pears you would find in the wild, without having to steal them from an orchard. Perhaps you could use "pera silvestre"...?
Myriam Garcia Bernabe (asker) Jan 30, 2009:
Addendum I know, I can't find any real botanical references. I was thinking maybe 'peras de campo' just to add something redundant, as these qualifiers some times are.
James A. Walsh Jan 30, 2009:
Hi Myriam, I'm in total agreement with you about using just pears. Sounds like some sort of text that's just trying to over-do the ye-olde-English thing or something...

If you must use something other than 'peras', it think this would be it... good luck! :)
