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.

Pembina Plum is one of the best-tasting plums that can be planted on the prairies. It is semi-freestone with orange flesh that is soft, juicy, and sweet which contrasts with the thick, sour, dark red skin. The plums can grow up to 5 cm in diameter and are well-suited for fresh eating, baking, and preserves.

They typically ripen in mid to late August and should be picked as soon as they are ripe. If left too long, the fruit will fall off the tree.

Pembina Plum is a hybrid between Canada Plum and Japanese Plum. For fruit production, it needs to be planted with another variety for cross-pollination. Canada Plum and American Plum are considered universal pollinizers.
