Learn About Your New Pyrus calleryana 'Cleveland Select' - Cleveland Select Pear
Pyrus calleryana ‘Cleveland Select’, or Chanticleer Pear, looks excellent as a striking upright feature tree or formal avenue planting where space is at a premium but visual impact is essential. Its tall, narrow pyramid form, reaching 11–12 metres high and 3–6 metres wide, creates strong architectural structure in streetscapes, parks, and modern residential gardens.
The tree offers year-round appeal, with glossy dark green leaves in spring and summer that transform into vibrant scarlet, plum, and orange shades in autumn—providing a brilliant seasonal colour display. In spring, the canopy is covered with abundant bright white flowers, adding delicate contrast before the foliage returns.
‘Cleveland Select’ adapts well to varied soil types, including clay and intermittently wet or dry soils, and thrives best in full sun. Its moderate drought tolerance and low-maintenance nature make it a practical choice for urban and suburban planting.
For enhanced landscape effect, plant with shade-tolerant groundcovers or ornamental grasses underneath to soften its formal silhouette and add layered texture. This pear cultivar is perfect for avenue rows, screening, or as a standout specimen where clean lines and seasonal colour are desired.

Post Planting Care
When planting a new tree or shrub, proper watering is essential to ensure healthy establishment and long-term growth. Follow these guidelines to give your plant the best start:
- Immediately After Planting:
Water generously right after planting to settle the soil around the roots and eliminate air pockets. This helps the roots make good contact with the soil. - First Three Months (Establishment Phase):
The initial three months are critical for root development. Water deeply twice daily (morning and evening) to encourage strong, deep root growth. - Irrigation Systems:
If using an irrigation system, adjust it to provide adequate water during the establishment phase. Ensure the water reaches the root zone without overwatering. - Weather Considerations:
Adjust watering based on weather conditions. Increase frequency during hot, dry periods and reduce it during cooler, wetter seasons. - Ongoing Care:
After the establishment phase (3 months), gradually reduce watering frequency but ensure the plant receives consistent moisture, especially during dry spells.
