Pears

As cider is made from apples, perry is made from pears, not just any pear
though. These are perry pears, which tend to be smaller & harder then
dessert pears. Perry tends to be produced sweet or medium sweet although
Camra's 2003 National Bronze Perry was Barkers Dry from Worcestershire.
Perry also contains natural levels of non-fermentable sorbitol. Perry trees
while bearing fruit in 3/5 years will continue to produce fruit for 200 or
300 years which is much longer than apple trees, this has lead to the phrase
"plant perry for your heirs".
No, the phrase is 'plant pears for your heirs'.
For obvious reasons!
