Description

A nice upright-pyramidal form that is substantially narrower than 'Bradford' reaching 35' in height and 16' in width and does not maintain a central leader. White flowers open about one week later than 'Bradford' and are exceptionally profuse; leaves are longer and more ovate than 'Bradford' with a thinnner texture with a good reddish-purple fall color, although not as outstanding as on 'Bradford'; thornless; hardens off earlier than 'Bradford' and may be less susceptible to early freezes; has shown good fireblight resistance. One of the best P. calleryana cultivars.
