The Pear Calleryana is very popular, especially as a street tree, particularly in Britain, Europe and America. Fairly fast growing, this pear has a slender branched habit with a wonderfully formed crown giving an attractive outline all year round.

A strong medium sized tree with clouds of beautiful white flowers in spring, with lovely shiny green leaves in summer and continuing to give pleasure in the autumn when the leaves turn to glorious reds and purple. In mild winters the leaves can remain until Christmas.

It is an easy to grown tree, tolerates pollution and is resistant to diseases and fire blight. It is also fairly resistant to salt winds for those who would like to plant trees near the sea.
