Chanticleer Callery Pear Tree

Chanticleer Callery Pear presents a refined, columnar silhouette that fits neatly into tight urban or suburban sites. In mid-spring it bursts into masses of pure white blossoms, followed by glossy green foliage through summer that shifts to a clear yellow in autumn. Its upright habit and narrow crown minimise pruning needs, while its tolerance for a variety of soils, pollution and compacted sites makes it a reliable street tree or garden accent.
