EverScreen
The Evergreen Ornamental Pear |
At last an ornamental pear that has all the features such as hardiness, fast growth,
 compact size and lush
glossy foliage that make the ornamental pear such a popular
choice in Melbourne gardens. Unlike other ornamental pears that drop
leaves for four months of the year the EverScreen Ornamental Pear
Retains its leaves throughout the winter months. EverScreen
Ornamental Pear has an upright pyramidal shape this is combined with
its year round foliage that makes it the best pear to select as a
tall fast growing screen. |

Withstand
windy sites, periodic drought, extreme heat and poor to average
soil. |
Ornamental pear trees are one of the most popular screening
specimens and avenue
 trees in Melbourne. This is because as well as
being fast growing, they are able to withstand windy sites, periodic
drought, extreme heat and poor to average soil. At the same time
they are very attractive having a compact final size, lovely glossy
summer foliage, spring blossom and as most varieties of ornamental
pears attractive autumn colour. Ornamental pears grow in a very
uniform size and shape when a row of the same variety is planted and
they are very easy to trim and shape making them ideal for
pleaching¹ or hedging. |

Care |
In terms of care it is important to plant ornamental pears into a
well drained hole and water, fertilise and maintain the area around
the base free of weeds. There is
 almost no pest or diseases for
ornamental pears, the only other maintenance is trimming or shaping.
EverScreen Ornamental Pear will go fairly deciduous if planted in an
area with persistent extreme frost but in the comparatively mild
Melbourne region it remains evergreen.
EverScreen Ornamental Pear develops a few red leaves in the middle
of winter and these stay on whilst the new foliage and blossom burst
so in the mid of Melbourne winter there is an attractive an unusual
display of red leaves, new green leaves and white blossom all at
once.
In spring and summer the only way to tell an EverScreen Ornamental
Pear from another ornamental pear is that the summer foliage is
denser and a little finer than other varieties, the difference is so
slight it would take a nurseryman to spot the difference. |

EverScreen Ornamental Pear is not available as a bare rooted
specimen as it never becomes dormant enough to bare root. Instead
they are available as a potted line. EverScreen Ornamental Pears are
available as a 2.5ft tall plant in a 7” pot for $19.90. When you
plant any ornamental pear don’t expect too much growth in the first
season but once established with good watering and fertilizing and
sun they are capable of 2-3 meters of growth in their second year.

ornamental pear for Melbourne conditions by Chris Lucas and
EverScreen Ornamental Pear is exclusive to Chris & Maries.
