Description
Pyrus calleryana Winter Glow is an ornamental screening pear sold in NZ by The Plant Company, valued for holding glossy foliage into late winter with only a brief dormancy. Upright conical form (about 10 x 5 m) carries pink-eyed white spring blossom, dense green summer shade and late-autumn reds, oranges and bronzes, with decorative fruit lingering into the cold months. Adaptable to most NZ soils and exposed or sheltered sites, wind-tolerant once established; prune lightly only. Excellent for avenues, driveways and evergreen-style screening in milder districts.
