“Aristocrat” is an Ornamental Pear grown for its blossoms, tidy form, and fabulous autumn colours. Masses of single, white flowers are borne in spring before the leaves emerge. The dark green foliage emerges soon after, remains this colour until autumn, then develops burgundy-red-brown tones before falling. It grows with a pyramidal shape when young and tends to broaden as it matures, producing a rounded crown. This deciduous tree typically grows to 6 m tall and 4 m wide, performing best when planted in full sun on a well-drained site. It is tolerant of frost, cool climates, some wind, and periods of dry. “Aristocrat” is commonly used in avenue plantings, grown as specimen, or added to a mixed planting in a larger garden.
