Another beautiful tree for spring is the 'Aristocrat' Pear (Pyrus calleryana 'Aristocrat'), which bears an abundance of lovely snow-white blossoms in early May. Ideal for restricted spaces, the tree grows in a somewhat pyramidal shape to a height of 40-50 feet with a simiilar spread. Its glossy ight green foliage turns purplish-red in fall. A more dominant trunk and open form make it less vulnerable to wind damage than Bradford pear. Its fruits are brownish tan and inconspicuous. Common names include Flowering Pear and Callery Pear.
