Description
Pyrus salicifolia ‘Pendula’, or willow-leaved pear is a lovely weeping ornamental pear tree.
In spring the tree produces large, creamy-white flowers that look stunning with its foliage, which have a grey-silver tone on the underneath of the graceful, narrow leaves. The branches also have a silvery shimmer, which looks particularly beautiful in winter when they can be appreciated fully
This weeping silver pear pear tree will do well given any good, well-drained soil in full sun and some exposure can be tolerated. Ideal for small gardens, this ornamental pear will grow to just 4 x 4 metres in 20 years.
The RHS has given Willow-leaved Pear an Award of Merit.
Ideal Conditions: Prefers to be in full sun, adapts well to most soils
Maximum Height: 12 metres
