Pyrus Salicifolia ‘Pendula’ (Weeping Silver Pear) is a formally trained deciduous tree valued for its elegant weeping habit and silvery foliage, carefully shaped into a horizontal plane. This pleached form features a clear stem with a trained, flat canopy of slender, silvery-grey leaves that create a graceful, architectural feature. The weeping branches are trained to form a green screen, while spring brings clusters of small white flowers followed by insignificant brown fruits.
Ideal for creating living screens, garden rooms, or architectural statements, this pleached pear thrives in well-drained soil and full sun. It is particularly effective for adding height and structure while maintaining a soft, elegant appearance. This trained form combines the natural beauty of weeping silver pear with the formal structure of pleaching, offering both privacy and aesthetic appeal.
