PLANT PROFILE

Pyrus Southworth Dancer stands out with its elegant form and delicate, birch-like leaves that shimmer with silvery-grey new growth, maturing to a glossy mid-green. This smaller ornamental pear tree reaches about 7 meters tall and 5 meters wide, making it perfect for parks, streetscapes, and garden settings where space and subtle beauty are valued.

Its ovate to broadly pyramidal shape creates a refined silhouette, while clusters of white flowers with striking purplish-red stamens bloom later than many other pears, offering extended seasonal interest. The foliage’s fine serrations and autumn yellow add further texture and colour contrast to the landscape.

This tree thrives in full sun and adapts well to various soils. It is drought-tolerant once established and requires low maintenance, needing only regular watering when young and minimal pruning to maintain its graceful shape.

Pyrus Southworth Dancer looks excellent when planted as a small feature or as part of a layered planting scheme, where its light, airy foliage can be complemented by low shrubs or groundcovers for added garden depth and softness.

    Select an Ideal Location: Choose a sunny spot with well-draining soil.

    Position the Tree: Place Pyrus Southworth Dancer in the hole, ensuring the top of the root ball is level with the surrounding soil.
