Bradford Pear Trees in Perth — Spring Blossom & Autumn Colour

The Bradford Pear (Pyrus calleryana 'Bradford') is one of the most popular ornamental pear trees in Perth gardens and streetscapes. With a spectacular white blossom display in spring and vivid orange, red, and maroon autumn foliage, it delivers two genuinely stunning seasonal moments that make it a standout in any Perth garden.

A Classic Ornamental Pear for WA Gardens

Originating from south-eastern China, Korea, Japan, and Taiwan, the Bradford Pear has been grown extensively in Perth for decades and performs reliably in WA's climate. It has a naturally elegant upright oval shape that becomes fuller and more rounded with age — and importantly, as the tree matures the flower display becomes increasingly spectacular, with denser and more abundant blossom each spring.

At maturity it reaches 10 metres tall and 6 metres wide — substantial enough to be a genuine feature tree, yet well suited to suburban Perth blocks and street verges.
