Chinese Pear (Ussurian Pear) – Pyrus ussuriensis Tree Seeds | 10 Seeds | Hardy Fast-Growing Edible Fruit Tree

Chinese Pear, also known as Ussurian Pear (Pyrus ussuriensis), is one of the hardiest pear species available, prized for its spectacular early spring bloom and reliable fruit production. Native to Northern China and Korea, this fast-growing deciduous tree produces a breathtaking display of white blossoms before the leaves emerge — creating the look of a snow-covered canopy.

Reaching 40–50 feet tall with a rounded, dense crown, Ussurian Pear is both ornamental and productive. Glossy deep green leaves provide summer interest, followed by striking fall colors ranging from red and burgundy to yellow and purple — sometimes all appearing at once on the same tree.

The round greenish-yellow fruit has a somewhat dry but pleasant flavor and is especially suitable for canning and preserves. This species is highly frost resistant and more cold hardy than most pears, making it ideal for colder climates.
