Ussurian Pear (Siberian) vs Brandon Elm
Ulmus americana Brandon
Pyrus ussuriensis
ONLY AVAILABLE BY CONTRACT GROW
SOLD OUT
Brandon Elm is a hardy and adaptable tree. Its dark green foliage turns brilliant gold in the fall.
This cultivar of the American Elm is long-lived and fast growing. Due to its smaller and more compact form than its cousin, the American Elm, Brandon Elm it is often preferred for home landscapes where it can command the extra money required to propagate it.
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.
