Pyrus calleryana ‘Chanticleer’ – Elegant Shape & All-Season Interest

Pyrus ‘Chanticleer’ is a versatile ornamental pear tree, prized for its neat, upright habit, abundant spring blossom, and attractive seasonal colour. Compact yet architectural, it’s ideal for urban gardens, avenues, or structured planting where space or height restrictions apply.

Seasonal Beauty & Colour

• Spring: Masses of white, five-petalled flowers appear early, often before the leaves, attracting bees and pollinators.
  
• Summer: Glossy, dark green, oval leaves form a dense, upright canopy that offers privacy and shade.
  
• Autumn: Foliage turns fiery shades of red, orange, and purple—one of the last trees to drop its leaves.
  
• Winter: A tidy, conical shape and smooth grey bark provide structural interest through the colder months.

Structure & Growth
