Description
Pyrus calleryana ‘Cleveland Select’ (Flowering Pear ‘Cleveland Select’) is a deciduous, spring-flowering ornamental tree valued for its symmetrical form, abundant white blooms, and reliable fall color. Thriving in full sun, this cultivar develops a strong central leader with a narrow, upright pyramidal canopy, typically reaching 30–40 feet tall and 15–20 feet wide, making it well-suited for tighter landscape spaces.
In early spring, masses of small, white, five-petaled flowers cover the branches before the glossy foliage emerges, creating a bright seasonal display. Lustrous dark green leaves form a dense canopy through summer. In fall, foliage transitions to rich shades of red, purple, and burgundy, providing notable seasonal interest. Small, round fruits may develop but are generally inconspicuous.
Ideal for street plantings, lawns, and formal landscapes, Pyrus calleryana ‘Cleveland Select’ offers uniform structure, dependable flowering, and vibrant autumn color.
