This is an upright or columnar form that does tend to 'round out' a little as it matures. Flowering early in the season followed by good green foliage which will turn to orange and red in autumn.

Excellent as a street tree, for lining a driveway and as a screening tree in commercial developments. Reaching 10 - 15m in height depending on conditions Pyrus calleryana 'Chanticleer' does hold its foliage until late, and as it flowers early makes a good screen for a deciduous tree.
