Pyrus nivalis or 'Snow Pear' Growing very well down here in Allansford Victoria. | South West Advanced Trees

Pyrus nivalis — A Timeless Classic Pyrus nivalis, commonly known as the Snow Pear, is valued for its elegant form and its distinctive silver-green foliage. Unlike many ornamental pears, it offers a softer, more muted leaf colour that brings balance and calm to a landscape. This deciduous tree provides interest across the seasons: fresh foliage in spring, a cool silvery canopy through summer, and warm gold-toned colour in autumn. Its naturally uniform shape makes it a reliable choice for avenues,

The annual shape of this pyrus salicifolia pendula, what do you think of the finish ? I have been working on this for years, these trees naturally grow to have a high point in the centre with branches and foliage drooping down. Lifting the crown to show the truck and create a base line gives a more defined look to the shape. I am working on trying to centralise the canopy to truck without cutting to hard as to leave a bare patch. Over the years this has thickened and taken the shape you now see.
