Bradford Pear (Callery Pear) – Pyrus calleryana Tree Seeds | 400 Seeds | Fast Growing Ornamental with Showy Spring Blooms & Fall Color

Bradford Pear, also known as Callery Pear (Pyrus calleryana), is a fast-growing ornamental deciduous tree valued for its stunning early spring blossoms and vibrant autumn foliage. Native to China and Taiwan, this adaptable tree typically grows 30–50 feet tall. It begins with a pyramidal to columnar form when young and gradually develops into a broader oval canopy as it matures.

In early spring, before or just as the leaves emerge, the tree is covered in dense clusters of bright white flowers, often giving the appearance of being completely blanketed in snow for about a week. Throughout summer, glossy dark green leaves provide a lush canopy and often remain late into the season. In fall, foliage turns brilliant shades of reddish-purple, orange, yellow, and red.

Cold hardy and tolerant of drought and urban conditions, Bradford Pear is widely planted as a street tree, shade tree, and ornamental specimen. It is also suitable for bonsai cultivation.

🌱 Seed Preparation & Germination

For best results, follow these steps in order:

1. Soak seeds in water for 24 hours.

2. Cold stratify for 90 days at 40°F in a moist medium (not wet).

3. Sow 1/4 inch deep and keep evenly moist (not soggy).

Growing Tip: Plant in full sun for best flowering and fall color. Early structural pruning improves branch strength and overall tree form. Protect young trees from strong winds.
