Pyrus calleryana Capital

Ornamental Pear, Pyrus Capital

Pyrus calleryana ‘Capital’ is a cultivar of the Callery pear (Pyrus calleryana), known for its upright, narrow shape and stunning ornamental features. It is often used in urban landscaping due to its compact form and year-round interest. Here’s a breakdown of its characteristics:

Key Features:

  1. Shape and Size:
    • The ‘Capital’ variety is a columnar, upright tree, making it an excellent choice for narrow spaces such as streets, parking lots, or small yards.
    • It typically reaches a height of 30 to 40 feet (9–12 meters) but only spreads about 10–15 feet (3–5 meters), making it a more space-efficient option compared to other varieties of Pyrus calleryana.
  2. Foliage:
    • The tree has glossy, dark green leaves during the growing season. In the fall, the foliage turns a striking mix of yellow, orange, and red, providing a beautiful autumn display.
  3. Flowers:
    • Like other varieties of Pyrus calleryana, ‘Capital’ produces small, white flowers in early spring (March to April). The flowers are fragrant and bloom before the leaves appear.
  4. Fruit:
    • It produces small, hard, inedible fruits, which are typically a minor aesthetic concern for most people. These fruits tend to persist into winter, although they don’t attract much wildlife due to their hardness.
  5. Growth Rate:
    • Pyrus calleryana ‘Capital’ is a fast-growing tree, which can make it an attractive option for those seeking quick landscaping results.
  6. Hardiness and Adaptability:
    • This tree is suitable for a wide range of climates.
    • It is adaptable to various soil types, including urban environments, and is tolerant of drought, pollution, and some poor soil conditions, although it prefers well-drained soil.
  7. Pests and Diseases:
    • While generally low-maintenance, the Callery pear and its cultivars are susceptible to a few issues, including fire blight, which can affect the tree in wet conditions. Additionally, Pyrus calleryana trees, including ‘Capital,’ are often criticized for their tendency to be invasive in some regions. The tree can spread through its seeds and create a dense stand, outcompeting native species.

Landscape Uses:

  • Street Trees: Due to its narrow profile, it’s commonly used in urban environments where space is limited.
  • Ornamental Value: Its spring blossoms, summer foliage, and fall color make it a visually appealing option year-round.
  • Low-maintenance: Once established, it requires relatively little care compared to other tree species, making it an excellent choice for public spaces or residential areas.
