Pyrus ussuriensis ‘Early Gold’
An improved seedling of Ure pear selected for its improved vigor, chlorosis resistance and iron-clad cold hardiness. Abundant white flowers in spring produce yellow fruits on average 10 days earlier than Ure. The foliage is an attractive, glossy green. Use Ure for pollination.
Pyrus communis ‘Parker’
University of Minnesota,1934. The fruits are medium-sized, green, and often develop a slight red blush on the sunny side of the fruit. While most pears need to be picked at the green/ripe stage and then slow ripened off the tree, Parker is okay when picked fully tree-ripened as it does not have many issues with core rot like other pear varieties. Picking at the green/ripe stage is best to maximize storage.
Pyrus communis ‘Summercrisp’
Recognized for many years as the hardiest pear from the University of Minnesota, released in 1985. Free of fireblight. An annual bearer. Fruit is pyriform in shape, 2.5-3″ in diameter and 3-3.5″ long. Blooms early in May. The fruit should be harvested in mid-August when crisp and still green with a red blush. Fruit harvested at that time is sweet and crisp, and may be stored up to 2 months.
Pyrus ‘Ure’
Fruit is green-yellow, very juicy, and approximately 2″ in diameter. Has sturdy branching. Good for eating and canning.
Pinus flexilis ‘Vanderwolf’s Pyramid’
Distinctive, pyramid-shaped pine with long, twisted, silvery blue-green needles covering the dense branches. A superior selection for use as a majestic lawn specimen or landscape accent. Excellent pest and disease resistance. Evergreen.
