Cleveland Select Ornamental Pear

Why it rocks:

Cleveland Select Ornamental Pear is an outstanding medium sized ornamental/shade tree for home landscapes. The stunning clusters of white flowers are the first of the season to emerge, and give way to dark green, glossy, heart-shaped leaves which turn to an outstanding deep red in fall. Being one of the last trees to lose its leaves in the fall, Cleveland Select Pear is one of the most impressive ornamental trees available. Compared to Aristocrat Pear, the Cleveland Select Pear has a much more narrow, pyramidal form which has a much more formal look. This tree is identical to the Chanticleer Pear, and a better alternative to Bradford Pear. 

Where to put it:

Because of its size and shape, Cleveland Select Pear is extremely versatile in the landscape. Cleveland Select can be used anywhere from the parkway to the front landscape, and can provide shade as well as accent. This tree should be planted at least 15ft away from buildings. 

What it needs:

Cleveland Select is an extremely tolerant tree which can grow in almost any conditions.
