 ==Cultivation==
-<!--- Type cultivation info below this line, then delete this entire line -->
+In much of [[North America]], [[cultivar]]s of Callery pear are so widely planted as ornamental trees that they have become a ubiquity in many urban and suburban communities. It is tolerant of a variety of soil types, drainage levels and soil acidity. Its crown shape varies from ovate to elliptical. The [[symmetry]] of several [[cultivar]]s lends to their use in somewhat formal settings, such as city streets, [[shopping centers]], [[office park]]s, and [[industrial park]]s. Its dense clusters of white [[blossom]]s are conspicuous in early spring along the boulevards of many eastern [[United States|U.S.]] towns. At the latitude of [[Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania]], the trees often remain green until mid-November, and in warm autumns, the colors are often a brilliant end to the fall color season, although in a cold year they may get frozen off before coloring. In the [[Southern United States|South]], Callery pears tend to be among the more reliable coloring trees.
