Pyrus Calleryana 'Cleveland Select' (Cleveland Select Pear)
The Cleveland Select Pear is a popular deciduous ornamental tree, known for its symmetrical, upright growth habit and year-round appeal. In early spring, it produces a spectacular display of white blossoms, creating a striking contrast against its bare branches. The glossy green foliage emerges soon after, forming a dense, attractive canopy through summer. In autumn, the leaves transition into vibrant shades of red, orange, and purple, adding a burst of seasonal colour.
Highly adaptable, the Pyrus Calleryana 'Cleveland Select' thrives in full sun and tolerates a range of soil types and urban conditions, including pollution and drought. It is ideal for avenues, driveways, or as a feature tree in gardens and landscapes. Low-maintenance and fast-growing, this versatile tree brings elegance and charm to any outdoor space.
