View prices and availability
An American cultivar with an ovoid crown. Later, the crown sinks and becomes round to nearly fan-shaped. Height up to approx. 12 m. The glossy, deep green leaves remain on the tree until late in the autumn and eventually turn faintly purple. Abundant white flowers in umbels. The brown fruit, measuring approx. 1 cm, does not appear very often. Suitable as a solitary tree and along avenues and streets. This tree, particularly when young, is not as winter-hardy as the cultivar 'Chanticleer'. A sheltered site is recommended. Tolerates air pollution well, like all the cultivars of Pyrus calleryana. Winter hardiness zone: 6a
