dieback on all other P. calleryana cultivars. In the<br />

Pyrus calleryana ‘Jaczam’<br />
Jack ® Pear<br />
Zone: 4<br />
Height: 16'<br />
Spread: 10'<br />
Shape: <strong>Co</strong>mpact<br />
upright oval<br />
Foliage: Dark green<br />
Fall <strong>Co</strong>lor: Yellow<br />
Flower: White<br />
Tight and upright in form, this cultivar is ideal for<br />
narrow streets and planting beneath utility wires.<br />
Its dwarf growth rate results in a cultivar that<br />
matures at less than half the size typical of the<br />
species. Its density and upright habit give the<br />
unusual combination of a formal appearance in a<br />
low maintenance tree.<br />
Pyrus fauriei ‘Westwood’<br />
Korean Sun Pear<br />
Zone: 4<br />
Height: 12'<br />
Spread: 15'<br />

rounded<br />
Foliage: Medium<br />
green, fine textured<br />
Fall <strong>Co</strong>lor: Red to<br />
purple red<br />
Flower: White<br />
Excellent fall color and compact size are key<br />
attributes of this selection. Although definitely<br />
a dwarf, this cultivar grows faster with better<br />
nursery characteristics than the parent species.<br />
Much hardier than P. calleryana, it also has a<br />
smaller, more rounded and shrub-like head.<br />
Pyrus calleryana ‘Holmford’<br />
New Bradford ® Pear<br />

This cultivar is similar in appearance to the<br />
well known Bradford, but it seems to be less<br />
susceptible to storm damage.<br />
Pyrus calleryana ‘Glen’s Form’<br />
Chanticleer ® Pear<br />

Bradford.<br />
