Brown cherry pear Clerks is tree of the year

“The brown cherry pear has contributed to Klerken’s identity,” says the jury. There was in Klerken in the Perelaarommegang, along with a funfair. There, residents of Klerken sold their ‘oyster’. They also called those pears Laupertjes, named after Saint Laurentius, the patron saint of the church in Klerken.

By the way, there is still a reference to the past, with the Perelaarommegangstraat in clerks. The brown cherry pear is one of the last witnesses.

In addition to the title ‘Tree of the Year’, 2,500 euros will also be spent on a refurbishment of the tree, and the brown cherry pear is also the Belgian entry for ‘European Tree of the Year.’
