It would.  The most obvious tanru would be {perli blabi xrula} -
[pear-type-of (white-type-of blossom)].  Of course that doesn't specify that
it's white blossom from a pear tree (it could be white blossom that looks
like pears, for example) but that would be the interpretation most readers
would choose, I think.
