Looking for a beautiful yet extremely cold hardy tree that is great for grafting edible pear varieties? Look no further than the Pyrus ussuriensis, also known as the Chinese Pear, Harbin Pear, Sand Pear, or Ussurian Pear. Not only does this deciduous tree grow up to 50 ft and have beautiful flowers that bloom in April, it is also very frost resistant and hardy to zone 3. While it is often used as a rootstock for grafting edible pear varieties, it is also a delicious fruit on its own with variations in size and taste depending on the tree. Whether you are a gardener looking for a new tree or a farmer looking for a reliable rootstock, Pyrus ussuriensis is a great choice.
