Pyrus calleryana Chanticleer Standard Trees

Pyrus calleryana Chanticleer is an ornamental, flowering pear tree with glossy, bright green foliage that appears early in the season and yet still looks fresh in autumn. When the leaves finally turn, their autumn colouring is magnificent. All of which makes it an outstanding subject to use for screening, avenue planting or as a structural statement. These trees can reach a height of up to 10 metres.
You can buy eating pear trees here, as well as weeping pears.

Chanticleer pear trees are ideally suited to avenue and structural plantings alike. They are medium-sized and slender, with a tight, upright crown that has been described as holding its breath - absolutely perfect for planting in a line 3-4 metres apart. They are also well suited for planting on either side of the beginning of a path or for framing a focal point. It flowers in early spring, and the tree is covered in clusters of creamy white blossom which are a good source of nectar for bees when it is in short supply. The deep green leaves are glossy and pointed. When autumn comes, they colour to a purple-red that can shift to crimson or orange-yellow, depending on the soil - it is a great show and it lasts into early winter. The fruit is inconspicuous and is usually eaten by wildlife.

Did You Know?

Chanticleer is an exceptionally easy tree to grow with a long season of interest and leaf cover, so it is ideal for screening and roadside planting. It was bred in the USA by Mr Edward Scanlon, who used parent trees that were brought from China in the early 1900s by the collector Ernest Wilson. It has won the RHS's Award of Garden Merit.

Notes on planting Pyrus calleryana Chanticleer trees:
These hardy trees aren't at all fussy - as long as the soil has good drainage, they will grow well in even the worst soil types, including compacted earth next to a road. They don't mind partial shade, though they will flower best in full sun.
They are so compact that it is hard to imagine that you will ever need to cut them back but if you do, wait until all the leaves have fallen.

Prepare your site before planting:
It is good to dig over the site where you plant a tree several months in advance. Kill the weeds first: for tough weeds like nettles, brambles and ground elder, you will usually need a glyphosate based weed-killer to get rid of them. When you dig the soil over, remove stones and other rubbish and mix in well rotted compost or manure down to the depth of about 2 spades.

Watch our video on how to plant a tree for full instructions.
Remember to water establishing trees during dry weather for at least a year after planting.

Tree Planting accessories:
Prepare your site for planting by killing the weeds and grass with Roundup weed killer.
You can buy a tree planting pack with a wooden stake & rubber tie to support the tree and a mulch mat with pegs to protect the soil around the base of your tree from weeds and drying out.
We suggest that you use mycorrhizal "friendly fungi" on the roots of all newly planted large trees: if your soil quality is poor, we strongly recommend it.
You can also improve your soil with bonemeal organic fertiliser and Growmore.

After you plant a tree, the most important thing to do is water it in dry weather. You will also need to weed around the plants. Watering should be thorough, so the ground is soaked. Let the soil almost dry out before watering again. Watering & weeding will be necessary for at least a year after planting.

If your trees do need pruning, it is ideal to do this in winter.

Special notes on caring for Pyrus calleryana Chanticleer trees:
Pyrus calleryana Chanticleer is a very tough tree that shouldn't need special attention once it has established.
Remember to check the stake and tie supporting your trees a few times a year. Tighten the tie if it becomes loose and loosen it as the tree grows. Make sure that the tree's trunk isn't rubbing against the stake.

Hygiene & Diseases:
Dead, damaged or diseased wood can be pruned off as soon as it appears.
Disinfect your pruning tools between every cut if there is any sign of disease.
Burn or dispose of any diseased material, do not compost it.

Pallets (Root balls, large pots, trees etc) £60.00 including VAT per order (FREE For ORDERS Over £240 inc VAT)

Because couriers sometimes experience delays, we schedule delivery by week, not by day. Therefore, please plan your planting day for the weekend at the end of the delivery week or for the week following delivery, at the earliest.
We will email you the day before your plants are due to arrive.

*Surcharges to the Highlands and Islands still apply.

Payment: We do not charge your card until we begin to prepare your order for packing.

Guarantee: If any plants die within a year, we will replace them. We only ask that you follow our planting & growing instructions and sent us clear photographs of the dead plants in situ, so we can help to make sure that the replacement plants succeed. You only pay for the delivery of the replacements.

Please note that our guarantee is void if there is a hosepipe ban in your area: your newly planted hedging must be watered in dry weather while it is establishing. The best way to water is very thoroughly every few days: at least once a week if there is no heavy rain.

Our nursery has been supplying container grown and bareroot hedging plants to gardeners, farmers and town planners since 1949. Our website started in 2003, so we do understand the concerns that you may have about buying hedging plants online. If any of your plants are damaged when they arrive or if you are otherwise not satisfied with your order after you inspect it, please repackage it and contact us. We will give you a refund or send replacements and send a courier to come and collect the unwanted plants.
