Pyrus calleryana 'Chanticleer', 'Cleveland
Select', 'Select' and 'Stone Hill' are all the same tree. So many names
for a beautiful tree. The 'Chanticleer' Pear is a upright-pyramidal tree
that is much narrower than the ever popular 'Bradford' Pear. The
'Chanticleer' flowers heavily in the spring. Its leaves are a glossy
dark green that turn reddish purple in the fall. This tree has wonderful
landscape value and is one of the best choices where lateral space to
spread is limited. 'Chanticleer' is less susceptible to early freezes
than other Pears. It will grow up to 35 feet high and 16 feet wide. The
'Chanticleer' Pear is very adaptable to many different soils and it
tolerates dryness and pollution. Plant in full sun. Prune in winter or
early spring. |
