Callery Pear Seeds

Callery Pear (Pyrus calleryana) is an Asian tree with white early spring flowers, glossy green foliage, and small fruit. Its dense wood has been used for woodwind instruments and printing blocks.

Different ornamental cultivars can cross pollinate and produce fertile seed. Birds disperse the fruit, and the species can form invasive thickets that displace native plants. It should not be planted where Callery Pear is restricted or invasive.
