Western Chokecherry vs Golden Spice PearPrunus virginiana var. demissa Pyrus Golden Spice SOLD OUT SOLD OUT 
Western Chokecherry is a shrub or small tree commonly used for farmstead and field windbreaks.
Golden Spice Pear produces delicious fruit and has other features that make it a striking accent tree. It is one of the few pears that successfully grows on the Canadian prairies. In late August, small, yellow pears with a slight red overlay will ripen and be ready for a variety of needs, including: fresh eating, canning, jams, and baking. They are slightly sweet with a crisp texture. Come fall, the green foliage transitions to orange, red, or burgundy, adding a burst of color to your yard.
