Pyrus betulaefolia Southworth Dancer™

Pyrus betulaefolia Southworth Dancer™, commonly known as Southworth Dancer™, is a deciduous ornamental pear tree. It is admired for its stunning autumn foliage, which turns vibrant shades of red, orange, and yellow, and its attractive white spring blossoms. This tree typically grows to a height of 8-10 meters and has a spread of about 4-6 meters, making it a suitable choice for medium to large gardens.

To grow Southworth Dancer™ in Australia, choose a sunny location with well-draining soil. This tree is adaptable to a variety of soil types, including clay, loam, and sandy soils. It is relatively drought-tolerant once established, but regular watering during dry periods will promote healthy growth. Mulch around the base of the tree to retain moisture and suppress weeds.

Prune the tree in late winter or early spring to maintain its shape and remove any dead or diseased branches. Southworth Dancer™ is generally low-maintenance and resistant to pests and diseases, making it a reliable choice for Australian gardens. Its beautiful foliage and blossoms, combined with its hardy nature, make this ornamental pear tree an excellent addition to landscapes across the country.
