Pyrus calleryana 'Capital', commonly known as the 'Capital' Callery Pear, is a cultivar of the Callery pear tree, known for its upright, columnar growth habit. This deciduous tree is a popular choice for urban and suburban landscaping due to its slender form, beautiful spring blossoms, and vibrant autumn foliage. It is a variant of the native species from China and Vietnam and is particularly suited for areas where space is limited.

Common Name: Capital Pear Tree
Mature Height (meters): Typically reaches around 10-12 meters
Mature Width (meters): About 3-4 meters, noted for its narrow form
Spacing: Plant at least 3-4 meters apart from other trees or structures to ensure proper growth and development.
Foliage: The 'Capital' Pear has glossy, dark green leaves that turn to stunning shades of red and purple in the fall, providing excellent autumnal color.
Flowering Period: It produces a profusion of white flowers in early to mid-spring before the foliage emerges. The blossoms are small but abundant, covering the tree in a spectacular display.
Form/Habit: This cultivar is known for its upright, columnar habit, making it an ideal choice for street plantings, narrow spaces, and formal garden settings.
Uses: Widely used in urban landscaping for its ornamental value. It's perfect for lining streets, driveways, and as a specimen tree in gardens where space is a constraint.
Sun: Prefers full sun to achieve optimal flowering and foliage color.
Maintenance: Low maintenance; requires occasional pruning to maintain its shape and remove any damaged or diseased limbs.
Water Requirement: Moderate; regular watering is recommended, especially during dry spells and in the tree's early years.
