Cleveland Select Ornamental Pear. 250mm pot

The shade-tree pear, and the one Adelaide councils plant most. A proper pyramidal canopy, masses of white blossom on bare wood in spring, and the best autumn colour of all the pears — scarlet through deep red and orange. Also sold as Chanticleer; same tree.

Why you'll love it

• Real shade — a 4–5 m canopy over a lawn or drive.
• The best autumn colour of the pears — scarlet to deep red.
• Strong structure — good branch angles, so it stands up to storms.
• Tough — alkaline soil and pollution are both fine.
• Tidy — tiny fruit at most — no mess on the driveway.

Best for

• Shade over a lawn or driveway
• Avenues with room to spread
• Street and verge planting
• A feature tree in a front garden
