Krazulya Pear

Carmine Jewel Cherry is a hardy deciduous shrub and hybrid variety of the University of Saskatchewan Sour Cherry. It produces dark, black cherries with small pits that are good for pies and wine making. The hardiest of the dwarf sour cherry varieties, Carmine Jewel Cherry is a beautiful accent or landscape/orchard tree.

Carmine Jewel is often the first cherry ready in the summer.

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

Krazulya Pears are unique as they can be eaten directly off the tree and don’t need time to ripen. The downside is that the pears only keep for 1-2 weeks.

For fruit production, another pear variety is required for cross-pollination. Can be paired with Beedle Pear or Ussurian Pear.
