Ussurian Pear (Siberian) vs Prairie Sensation Apple
Pyrus ussuriensis
Malus x Prairie Sensation
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.
Prairie Sensation Apple is a cold hardy tree that produces large, delicious apples that are great for fresh eating.
Developed at the University of Saskatchewan, the apples produced by Prairie Sensation have been reported to have a juicy, crisp, and sweet flavor. Beautifully round in shape, these apples range from yellow to green with a reddish overlay.
Like all other apples, Prairie Sensation requires an additional pollinator, such as a crabapple or another apple to ensure fruit production. Keep in mind most residential neighbourhoods will have another pollinator present, but it does not hurt to get two just in case.
Note: We do not ship grafted apples to BC due to regulatory restrictions from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.
