Pyrus ussuriensis: Ussurian Pear

Pyrus ussuriensis — USDA Pomological Watercolor Collection

This heavyweight garment-dyed tee features a USDA botanical illustration of the Ussurian pear, a cold-resistant variety native to northeastern Asia and one of the most frost-resistant pear species ever documented. Rendered against a stark black background — unusual in the collection — the two fruits float with a stillness that's closer to fine art photography than scientific record. The relaxed fit and soft, lived-in dye give it an easy, worn-in feel from the start.
