Pyrus calleryana is a visually stunning ornamental tree that boasts clusters of white flowers in the spring and vibrant autumn foliage in shades of yellow, mahogany, and red.

This beautiful pear tree has a pyramidal shape when young, which becomes more rounded as it matures. Its glossy green leaves are heart-shaped and appear from the period between flowering and leaf drop.
Originating from China, Pyrus calleryana is adaptable to most soils, but it prefers an open and sunny position. It is frost-resistant but vulnerable to drought.
