The
Chanticleer Flowering Pear
tree, Pyrus calleryana, 'Chanticleer',
is a tight, narrow, pyramidal, thornless, ornamental
pear tree. Some specimens appear almost columnar in
habit. Oval, glossy green leaves turn an attractive
reddish purple in autumn.
The growth habit is dense,
narrowly pyramidal, and evenly branched with crisp
glossy green foliage. New growth shows a reddish tint.
It has a heavy abundance of single white flowers in the
spring and outstanding reddish-orange to purple fall
color.
This deciduous tree is a true
4-season tree with white flowers in early spring; shiny,
dark green foliage in summer changes to long lasting,
dramatic shades of red & purple in mid to late autumn.
In winter the tight, narrow form is a refined silhouette
in the landscape.
Chanticleer Pear trees are very
hardy and fast growing. They are an excellent choice for
a trouble-free, beautiful addition in any landscape
situation.
