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.

Beedle Pear is sweet, soft, and juicy with no astringency making it great for fresh eating. They typically ripen on the tree in early September. The medium-sized pears keep relatively well when compared to other varieties. For most years it is a reliable producer on the prairies.

The Beedle Pear is a cold hardy pear with Canadian roots. John Beedle discovered it on a city boulevard in St. Albert, Alberta.

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