Pyrus calleryana “Capital”

  • A slender, columnar tree with a strong central leader, and attractive symmetrical branching.
  • It is very popular due to its more upright and narrow growth, autumn colour and spring flowers. 
  • A very hardy, fast-growing and disease-resistant tree.

Height

9-11 m

Width

2-3 m


Foliage

  • Shiny deep-green leaves which turn to amazing tones of reds, oranges and purples in autumn. 
  • The branches are upright and symmetrical, and it has a very dense growth habit.

Flowers

Masses of single white flowers cover the tree in spring.

Usage

  • Great for hedging and screening, avenues, feature trees, pleaching, and areas where width is restricted. 
  • Makes an excellent specimen or pair planting too.
  • Highly suited to narrow spaces and urban sites.
  • Plant 1-2m apart for a hedge/screen or 3-5m for an avenue.

Comments

  • Grow in full sun to part shade.
