This very attractive deciduous ornamental pear has a graceful upright growth habit. Its silvery grey foliage throughout spring and summer adds great contrast to any garden, turning into a stunning display of red in autumn. Spring will shower you with prolific pretty white flowers. Produces mildly sour fruit that can be eaten raw or cooked. Ideal to grow in the home garden. Prefers an open sunny position in well drained soil. Water well until established and apply complete fertiliser annually for best results. Pyrus Nivalis can grow to a height of 9m and a width of 6m.
