Shipova is a very unusual hybrid pear / whitebeam, also known as the Bollwyller Pear.

The flowers are large by Sorbus standards but look more like Sorbus flowers than pear blossom. They appear in May - much later than pear blossom.

The fruits are borne in clusters, quite reminscent of whitebeam berries, but they are pear-like and have a pleasant flavour. 

The leaves also show characteristics of both species, their size and the leaf undersides being similar to those of whitebeams - and from a distance the tree looks much more like a whitebeam than a pear tree.
