Aristocrat Pear

Pyrus calleryana

Aristocrat Pear is an outstanding medium sized ornamental/shade tree for home landscapes. The stunning clusters of white flowers are the first of the season to emerge, and give way to dark green, glossy, heart-shaped leaves which turn to an outstanding deep red in fall. Being one of the last trees to lose its leaves in the fall, Aristocrat Pear is one of the most impressive ornamental trees available. Compared to Cleveland Select Ornamental Pear, the Aristocrat Pear has a much more open rounded form which has a much less formal look. This tree is very similar to, and a better alternative than Bradford Pear.
