Although adaptable to many soil types, Cleveland Pear Trees prefer well-draining loam. Water — During the first season, Cleveland Pear Trees require moderate watering care, preferably once a week for 30 minutes. Once established, Cleveland Pears require little water. Pruning — Pruning is not recommended; if landscapers do feel it is required, simply remove dead branches and suckers in the fall.
Cleveland Pear Trees are notably easy-to-grow, unlike many other ornamental trees, which are often quite picky. The first year is the most tentative. With proper planting and care, the Cleveland Pear Tree will quickly become well-established and requiring of minimal effort.
Plant the Cleveland Pear in full sun, as the sapling and mature tree is intolerant of shade. These ornamentals can be beautiful accent trees, drawing the eye to an individual focal point in a garden landscape. On the other hand, many landscapers choose to line entryways or driveways with rows of Cleveland Pear Trees. It is important to consider nearby structures when planting Cleveland Pear Trees. Avoid planting too close to buildings or underneath power lines. Cleveland Pear Trees have extensive root systems that remain close to the surface, and if planted too close to buildings, the roots may damage sewage pipes or foundations.
There are several other cultivars of this species, and they can cross-pollinate. If you have planted other Callery pears, such the Bradford Pear and Aristocrat, proceed cautiously with the Cleveland Pear, as these trees may hybridize after birds assist in fruit pollination. The thorny thickets produced by this hybridization can be difficult to manage. The Cleveland Pear Tree grows uniformly, so even if you choose to plant rows of these, most will grow evenly to reach between 30 and 40 feet tall and 15 and 20 feet wide.
Unlike many other ornamentals, Cleveland Pears have a fast growth rate. Expect between 3 and 5 feet of new growth each season. Plus, the Cleveland Pear has a pleasant aroma…unlike the Bradford, which is famous for its unpleasant scent. And its narrow, pyramidal shape makes it well-suited to even the tightest garden spaces. But despite its more manageable size, you still get a gorgeous blanket of blooms and glossy green leaves that transition to striking orange-red in fall.
Your Cleveland Pear arrives at your door with better-developed, fuller branching, and a robust, healthy root system. Planting: Cleveland Pears like full sun 6 to 8 hours of sunlight to thrive and once established after the first growing season, they're drought tolerant and need little attention. Dig your hole and make it twice as wide as the diameter and as deep as the depth of the root ball.
Place your tree, fill in the soil, and water to settle the roots. Mulch the surrounding soil to preserve moisture. Watering: In the spring and summer, water your tree at least once a week with 5 gallons of water. If the leaves feel brittle or start turning brown around the edges, increase to watering twice a week.
In the winter, a good watering once a month is sufficient. However, if your tree was struggling during the summer season or is young less than four years old you can water it every two weeks. Fertilizing: Fertilize in the fall when the tree starts to go dormant, about six weeks prior to the first frost of the season. You can use a general-purpose, balanced fertilizer such as or similar. Pruning: The best time to prune is in the fall season. Remove any low branching that grows up from the base of the tree, as well as any dead or damaged branches.

The Cleveland pear tree was bred specifically to replace the Bradford pear tree, another ornamental tree that created problems for landscapers. Bradford pear trees were popular for about 10 years, the time it took for the first wave to become mature and begin breaking down in high winds and snowstorms. In addition to damaging houses and cars and downing power lines, Bradford pear trees grew unchecked because birds took their seeds and spread them everywhere.
The Cleveland pear tree was bred not to sprout seeds, but to grow branches that are stronger and bunched closer together. The best time to plant a Cleveland pear tree is the spring or fall.
When you plant a tree, make sure it gets plenty of water the first day it's in the ground. A good way to do this is to place a garden hose at the foot of the tree, turn it on to a slow trickle and let the water flow for 30 to 40 minutes moving the hose around the tree every 10 minutes.
This will give the roots plenty of moisture and allow the tree to establish itself quickly. Cleveland pear trees need very little maintenance and grow quickly.
