Ussurian pear fruit from nursery rootstock trees

Oak Summit Nursery · Southern Manitoba

ussurian pears, the wild harbin pear. the trees that drop these are large and they just cover the ground at the end of august. I use them as our pear rootstock, the fruit are edible but the flesh is kind of grainy so they would be better for processing or to make perry, also great shade trees, they grow larger than an apple tree.
