Product Information


Pyrus Spright is a rare ornamental pear variety discovered in Victoria. It was field trialled for over 10 years before its recent release. Pyrus calleryana Spright has Plant Breeders Rights (PBR), the plant equivalent of a patent, granting Gemtree, the breeder and our supplier, exclusive rights to produce, sell, and distribute the plant.

Pyrus Spright is an attractive ornamental pear, ideal for small gardens or garden beds. Reaching approximately 3m high and 1.5m wide in 10 years, Spright features masses of pretty white blossoms in early spring, followed by dense, glossy green leaves through spring and summer. In autumn, the leaves display a vibrant range of red, orange, and gold.

It prefers a sunny or semi-shaded position with moist, well-drained soil but will tolerate most soil types. Frost and drought-tolerant once established. When planting, choose a sunny, moist, well-draining area. Mulch and fertilise after leaf burst.
