Chanticleer Pear Tree Info
The Chanticleer pear is an upright, pyramidal, deciduous tree that will grow up to 40 feet high, and spread 15 feet wide. This tree is favored by landscapers where lateral space to spread is restricted. Chanticleer is also know as Improved Bradford, Cleveland Select or Callary pear tree. This tree has earned the distinction of being awarded 'the Urban Tree of the Year' by the Society of Municipal Arborists in 2005. Because it is upright, and does not create a mess with its shedding, it is a popular street tree. The tree bears white flowers that grow in abundant clusters. Although edible, its fruit is not very highly favored. The fall season sees a drastic change in its smooth, glossy long and pendulous shaped leaves, as they now turn purplish-red.

Chanticleer Pear Care
The Chanticleer ornamental pear is a shallow rooted tree that grows well in most soils; alkaline, clay, dry, loamy, moist, sandy, well drained or wet. Of all the flowering tree types, Chanticleer flowering pear trees are easy to grow and maintain. Soil should be maintained at a pH balance between three and six which will result in good flower production. They do well in zones 5 - 8. Regular watering should be done for young plants until established, after which they can be watered as per seasonal changes. Fertilizing a pear before its bloom period will ensure a good and long bloom.

Chanticleer Pear Tree Diseases
Although resistant to most diseases, it too, like its other pear cousins, can fall prey to a variety of fungal and bacterial diseases. Fungal diseases include black rot, blue mold rot, canker, scab, etc. Most of these diseases affect the leaves underside, and then spread to the whole tree. Unchecked and untreated, they damage the flowering capacity of the tree, and tend to rot the tree from within. There are many pesticides available that one can use to ensure that the pear tree stays healthy and devoid of all pests and diseases. Of all diseases, Chanticleer pear trees are very resistant to fireblight.

Chanticleer Pear Pruning
Due to its steep, upright main stems, the Chanticleer is very susceptible to branch breakages, especially as these trees approach 15 to 20 years of age. It becomes very vulnerable during storms or snowfalls. Pruning in time is the only way to contain the damage. Train the tree when its young to multiple trunks and to develop a strong structure. Prune either in winter or early spring, before the flower buds begin to sprout.
