Pear Flowering, Chastity

Pyrus x triploida 'NCPX2' PP30788


Description

Are you longing for the sparkling white spring blooms and vibrant fall foliage of a Flowering Pear, but don't want its invasive nature and susceptibility to disease? 'Chastity' is just the ticket! This Pyrus variety is an eco-friendly alternative to invasive flowering pears and is highly resistant to fireblight.  Specifically bred to prevent weediness, it is highly infertile so you won't get a lot (if any) messy fruit which makes it an excellent choice for a park strip. Produces spectacular fall colors of red, orange, yellow and purple.
