Ussurian Pear (Siberian)
Hardy Banana

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.

The Hardy Banana is a fast-growing evergreen perennial that dies down to the ground each year. A stunning tropical-looking accent for your yard and patio, the Japanese Fiber Banana can be overwintered outdoors in several northern U.S. states and southern Canadian regions. In northern regions, you can bring this plant inside and leave it in your garage. If you enjoy Mexican cuisine, you can use the leaves to make tamales.
