Pyrus communis 'Ure' is an ultra-hardy pear tree, specially selected for northern regions like Quebec, with cold resistance down to -40 °C. It stands out for its very early white blossoms in spring and its ability to produce small to medium-sized yellowish-green pears with tender, juicy, and sweet white flesh, ideal for fresh consumption or processing. Its rounded and compact habit makes it an excellent choice for small orchards, home gardens, and residential spaces. This cultivar is self-sterile but makes a good cross-pollinator for other varieties. It is easy to grow in full sun in well-drained soil and requires little maintenance once established. 'Ure' combines floriferousness, robustness, and consistent yield, perfect for pear enthusiasts in harsh climates.
