Pyrus calleryana 'Aristocrat'

Aristocrat Callery Pear

Aristocrat Callery pear has a relatively open crown with wider branch angles than many related selections. Glossy leaves, white flowers, and red autumn color are its main ornamental features.

The canopy loses its leaves for winter. Autumn color includes red. Allow the natural framework to develop without crowding neighboring plants or paths.

Choose a sunny position with well-drained soil. Water during establishment and allow enough room for the developing crown. Callery pears can spread beyond cultivation; check regional planting restrictions and consider alternatives.
