Pyrus Red Spire (Red Spire Pear Tree)
Pyrus Red Spire (Red Spire Pear Tree)
The Red Spire Pear Tree is a striking deciduous ornamental tree known for its tall, upright growth habit and seasonal beauty. In early spring, it produces abundant clusters of white blossoms that stand out against the bare branches. The glossy green foliage emerges shortly after, creating a dense and attractive canopy throughout summer. In autumn, the leaves turn vibrant shades of red, orange, and purple, providing a stunning display of colour.
Highly adaptable, the Pyrus Calleryana 'Red Spire' thrives in full sun and tolerates a wide range of soil types, urban pollution, and drought conditions. Its symmetrical shape and fast growth make it perfect for avenues, driveways, or as a feature tree in larger gardens and landscapes. Low-maintenance and resilient, this versatile tree is an excellent choice for both functional and decorative planting.
