Pyrus calleryana ‘Capital’

Pyrus calleryana ‘Capital’ has a very narrow, columnar growth habit, making it ideal for tight spaces, avenues, street planting, and formal landscapes. In early spring, the tree is covered with abundant white blossoms, creating a striking and elegant display. The leaves are glossy green throughout the growing season and change to vibrant shades of red, burgundy, orange, and purple in autumn.

This cultivar is hardy and adaptable, tolerating a wide range of soils, heat, and urban pollution.

Capital Pear develops a strong central leader with tightly held branches that grow upward rather than outward. This growth habit makes it far less prone to splitting than some older ornamental pear varieties. Its neat shape is naturally maintained, reducing the need for heavy pruning.

In early spring, before the leaves appear, Capital Pear is covered with masses of pure white, five-petaled flowers. These blossoms create a striking display and attract early pollinators such as bees.
