Tree | Pyrus calleryana 'Capital' Capital Ornamental Pear |
Description | This tree has a narrow growth habit with luscious shiny green leaves that hang vertically from branches. An attractive curl in the foliage adds further interest and the slender, columnar shape lends itself well to tight spaces. In autumn, leaves turn a purpley-red colour and spring brings a beautiful display of lovely white flowers followed by small, russet coloured fruits. |

Form | Fastigiate |
Mature Size | 11-12 x 1-3m |
