Pyrus calleryana Chanticleer multi stem

Pyrus calleryana Chanticleer is an extremely popular deciduous tree which is often planted for screening purposes.

This pretty tree is the first to come into leaf in the spring, when its leaves emerge in conjunction with a pretty white flower which covers the tree.

The foliage further emerges a bright and glossy green and remains on the tree until well into the autumn time, when it turns a bright orangey red before falling.

Not only is Pyrus calleryana Chanticleer the first tree into leaf in the spring, it is the last tree to lose its leaves in the autumn time, a useful quality for screening.

On occasion this Ornamental pear has been known to produce very small fruits, however this should not cause concern as it is not a regular, or indeed impactful occurrence.

It is tolerant of pollution, and some salt laden winds, but should not be planted in direct line with salt. It is a tough performer, tolerating harsh urban conditions, as well as thriving in an array of soil types.

Mature height: 7-12m
