Cleveland Select Pear – Pyrus calleryana ‘Cleveland Select’
This cultivar, with its strong branching habit is a good substitute for Bradford Pear. It transplants
easily and is adaptable to most soils. The fall color is yellow-orange, mottled with red. However,
it is recommended that we plant no more Callery pear cultivars because they are hybridizing with
each other and producing an invasive wild population of hybrid trees that invade our woodlands.
