Ussurian Pear (Siberian)
Krazulya Pear

Ussurian Pear (aka Manchurian or Siberian Pear) is the most cold hardy of all pear species.

This self-pollinating pear bears white flowers in the spring and has good fall colour, making it an exceptional ornamental addition to any garden. However, it has a tendency to branch quite low and is often used in shelterbelts and hedges too.

It is primarily grown for its attractive flowers and pollination of other pear varieties, or as cold hardy rootstock, and is also an excellent addition to any shelterbelt.

Krazulya Pear was developed in Russia and is said to be one of the most delicious and hardiest pears. “Krazulya” - meaning “beauty” in Russian - is true to its name in that the pears are a luscious yellow with bright, red cheeks.

A peculiar feature of Krazulya Pear is that the pears can be eaten directly off the tree and don’t need time to ripen. The downside is that the pears only keep 1-2 weeks.

Krazulya Pear has been described as juicy and buttery, with a slight spice undertone. An additional pear tree is required within 150 m (500’) for cross pollination and fruit production to occur.
