Pyrus calleryana Capital, commonly known as the Capital Pear, is an ornamental pear tree grown for its flowering, narrow form, and fabulous autumn colours. It features deep green foliage that develops burgundy red-purple tones in autumn before falling. Masses of white flowers are borne in spring just as the leaves emerge. This flowering pear tree grows with a columnar habit to about 10 m tall and 2.5 m wide, and can be trimmed as necessary. Pyrus calleryana Capital is commonly used for street or avenue planting, grown as specimen, or added to a mixed planting in a larger garden.
