ART EVERY DAY NUMBER 728 / ILLUSTRATION / PEARS FOR YOUR HEIRS
Interpretation of a common phrase,
“Pear trees, especially the old English varieties that would have been the subject of this proverb, take many years to mature and give fruit. You don’t plant them for yourself but for your heirs. The full version of the phrase, which is a 17th century English proverb, is: Walnuts and pears you plant for your heirs.” – from https://www.phrases.org.uk
