Silver Sails is a small ornamental pear tree. The main attraction is the silvery-green foliage, which emerges in early spring and continues until late autumn. The individual leaves have some resemblance to yacht sails.

Small (approx. 2cm) ornamental fruitlets appear in the autumn. These can be cooked.

The tree grows with a compact upright habit.

More about ornamental pears

Flowering pear trees are grown primarily for their ornamental features. They usually flower quite early in the spring when not much else is around. In autumn most have fruitlets which may attract wildlife, and they often have interesting foliage colours.

Flowering pear trees are also usually easy to grow, disease-resistant, and tolerant of most soil conditions.
