Sale price$555.00

Pyrus calleryana 'Aristocrat' (Aristocrat Pear) looks excellent when used as a formal avenue tree, elegant feature, or structured screen in parks, streetscapes, and large gardens. Its naturally symmetrical, pyramidal shape creates a stately vertical presence, reaching 9–15 meters tall and 6–9 meters wide, ideal for adding refined architectural interest where space allows.

In spring, the tree is covered with abundant clusters of pure white blossoms that beautifully contrast its glossy green foliage, which forms a dense, lush canopy through summer. Its strong seasonal structure and neat form provide year-round appeal.

‘Aristocrat’ pairs well with underplantings of shade-tolerant perennials or low shrubs to soften its base and add layered texture. It thrives in full sun to part shade and adapts well to various soils and urban environments.

Maintenance is low; regular watering during establishment promotes healthy growth, while mature trees handle drought well. Pruning is minimal, usually limited to maintaining shape or removing dead branches. Overall, this cultivar offers a sophisticated, low-maintenance solution for those seeking elegance and reliable performance in landscape design.
