Ornamental Pear – Winter Glow - "Pryus Calleryana"
 
Size - These trees are planted in a 400mm pot approx 3m tall
 
Features of this tree -
A beautiful “Semi Deciduous” ornamental pear that has become a popular screening plant as it retains its foliage for most of winter. It is sometimes marketed as an evergreen pear, but more technically it is semi deciduous and retains its leaves only in temperate climates
Summer - Dense green glossy leaves makes for a perfect hedge or screening tree due to its upright pyramidal shape, dense foliage which when combined with its year round foliage makes it a great ornamental pear to select as a tall fast growing screen
Autumn - It is spectacular in autumn when foliage gradually changes to bronze-scarlet red, followed by white blossoms.
Grows to 10m high and 3m wide in 20 years if left un-pruned.
 
 
Growing Conditions -
 Likes full sun and will tolerate part shade
 It is adaptable to a wide range of site conditions including quite dry conditions, slightly alkaline soils and air pollution, but is also able to handle intermittently wet, heavy soils
 
 
Planting Ideas -
Excellent specimen tree, providing year round colour and interest
Great for screening off neighbours or creating specific areas in your garden for most of the year.
Perfect for narrow sites where width is limited and a tall slender tree is required
Look incredible planted along driveways or paths
 
If planting as a screen - we recommend planting 1000mm apart
