Pear - Krazulya

Krazulya (means Beauty in Russian) This is a very good tasting pear weighing about 80 - 100 grams. It does not keep past a week or two. But truly excellent taste when ripe in early to mid August. You can eat it off the tree, rare for pears and no storage is needed. This is the result of 50 years of breeding work coming from Russia. Bernie Nicholai, the Edmonton area Pear expert: "They are proving hardy in the Edmonton rural area. These are generally F4 crosses that have taken decades to produce. The Canadian hardy pears are all F1 crosses with Siberian pear, which generally only produces a very tart, almost inedible fruit. The Russians have found you need at least an F3 cross to get size, quality, and hardiness, but this takes decades of breeding, and nobody in North America had the time or interest to attempt this." There are more pears coming from this program. Stay posted!
