Flowering
occurs at about the same time as ‘Bradford’ Pear. The
leaves emerge as red/purple, then become 1.5 to 3 inches long, glossy
green with wavy margins and a red blush. They turn yellow to orange
in fall in the south putting on an attractive display before dropping.
Fall color may be subdued in the north. The small, pea-sized, red/brown
fruits which form are quite attractive to birds and other wildlife,
and mummify on the tree persisting for several months to a year.
Planting two or more cultivars of Callery Pear together could increase
fruit set.
