Okanese Poplar
Ussurian Pear (Siberian)

Okanese Poplar is an excellent shelterbelt tree. It's one of the hardiest and fastest growing trees you can plant on the prairies. This hybrid poplar is disease resistant, drought and cold tolerant, produces no fuzz, and requires little maintenance. Okanese poplar also makes for a good privacy screen on larger properties.

Ussurian Pear is the most cold hardy of all pear species. It is frequently used as a rootstock or as a pollinizer for other pear varieties. The pinkish-white flowers that bloom in the spring and the striking fall colours make it well-suited as an ornamental addition to your landscape.

Ussurian Pear can also be used for forming hedges as it tends to branch quite low.

While the Ussurian Pear is considered self-pollinating, planting with another pear variety will increase yields. Can be paired with Krazulya Pear or Beedle Pear.
