Pyrus calleryana Capital

Capital Pear

Capital is a narrow, columnar ornamental pear with glossy foliage. White flowers appear in spring, and autumn leaves take on purple-red and bronze tones.

Provide sun and well-drained soil. Callery pear offspring can escape cultivation and become invasive. Its small, hard fruits are not dessert pears.
