Native to northeastern Asia, including parts of Russia, China, and Korea, it thrives in cold climates and is well-suited for Canadian landscapes. This pear has oval, glossy green leaves that turn vibrant shades of red, orange, and yellow in the fall. In early spring, clusters of white blossoms emerge, adding ornamental value. The small, round fruits ripen by late summer to early fall and are yellow-green, often with a hint of red blush. They are typically more astringent and tart than common pears, making them suitable for preserves and cider.

The Ussurian Pear prefers full sun and well-drained soils, tolerating a range of soil types including sandy, loamy, and clay.
