Why choose a Capital Pear?

Capital Pear offers a tall, narrow outline with glossy foliage, spring blossom and rich autumn colour. Its upright, columnar habit suits formal rows and screening where planting space is limited, with minimal pruning needed to keep its shape.

How can I use it in my garden?

• Plant a row for a tall, narrow privacy screen.

• Line a driveway or avenue for a formal effect.

• Use as an upright feature among other ornamental pears.

Where does it grow best?

Grow in full sun to part shade. Capital adapts to most soil types and tolerates drought and frost once established.

What does it look like through the year?

White blossom appears in spring, followed by glossy green foliage through spring and summer. Leaves turn red, orange and purple in autumn before falling to reveal its winter branching structure.
