Pyrus calleryana ‘Chanticleer’ Tree – Callery Pear
Pyrus calleryana ‘Chanticleer’ is an elegant, upright ornamental pear with a narrow, pyramidal habit that makes it ideal for smaller gardens, avenues, and urban planting. In early spring, masses of pure white flowers cover the branches, followed by glossy green foliage that remains healthy and attractive throughout summer.

Its upright form, disease resistance, and year-round appeal make it one of the best ornamental pears for modern landscapes.
