Pyrus Chanticleer Pear Ornamental pear

Pyrus calleryana 'Chanticleer', commonly known as Chanticleer or Callery Pear, is a popular ornamental tree known for its attractive form and seasonal interest. This deciduous tree features glossy green leaves that turn brilliant shades of red, purple, and orange in autumn. In spring, it produces abundant clusters of white blossoms, adding a striking visual appeal to gardens.

To grow Pyrus 'Chanticleer' in Australia, plant it in a sunny location with well-draining soil. This tree is adaptable to a variety of soil types, including clay, loam, and sandy soils, and can tolerate urban pollution, making it suitable for city landscapes. Regular watering is essential during the establishment phase, but once mature, 'Chanticleer' is relatively drought-tolerant.

Mulching around the base helps retain moisture and suppress weeds. Prune in late winter or early spring to remove dead or damaged branches and to maintain a desired shape. Pyrus 'Chanticleer' is known for its upright, pyramidal form, reaching a height of 10-12 meters and a spread of 5-7 meters, making it ideal for street planting, garden focal points, and screening.

With its year-round beauty and low maintenance requirements, Pyrus 'Chanticleer' is an excellent choice for adding elegance and structure to Australian gardens.
