Intergeneric Hybrids

An unique hybrid of quince and pear with tasty fruits up to 8cm in diameter, sweet and soft flesh. It can be eaten fresh.

Beautiful flowers appear twice - in spring and autumn so the plant has also high ornamental value!

Small tree similar in demands to quince.

Even greater rarity than the pear quince. Variety of unknown origin. The propagating material comes from Turkey.

The fruits ripen in mid-October and then fall off. They have a rather round, possibly slightly irregular shape, the size of an average apple and a more or less reddened skin. The seed chamber is greatly reduced. The pulp is sweet and soft, but with a noticeable bitterness. The fruits are therefore more suitable for compote or juice. However, the biggest disadvantage of this variety (as well as most other quince apple varieties) is weak fruit set - usually only a few fruits are formed. Therefore, it should be considered as a curiosity for collectors rather than a fruit plant.

The trees resemble quince and grow quite vigorously. Light pink flowers appear in large numbers. In terms of flowering time and flower size, the quince apple lies between its two parents. So far we have not observed any frost damage.

A Russian hybrid of Aronia and probably Mt. Ash.

Demands and value similar to the Sweet Mt. Ash.

A hybrid of common rowan and chokeberry bred by Michurin.
Frost-resistant variety with average strength of growth. It comes into fruiting quickly - 3-4 years after planting. Dark purple fruit, fully ripe almost black, sweet and sour and only slightly tart, weighing up to 1.8g with sugar content of 9.6%. They ripen in the second half of August and are similar in taste to chokeberry. Recommended primarily for preserves, although they are also suitable for consumption in the fresh state.

Multiple hybrid bred 1927 by Ivan Mitschurin.

An unique hybrid of whitebeam and pear. Ultimately, the trees will be large, but with medium growth strength. It bears pear shaped fruits, average 4cm in diameter, with juicy and sweet flesh, ripening in the early part of September.

Very hardy variety, without special soil demands. It has bigger crops cultivated on a sunny side.
