Pyrus calleryana 'Capital'
Capital Callery Pear

Overused, weak wooded, short-lived. Flowers are malodorous and often killed by late spring freezes. Forms narrow crotch angles that can result in a larger tree literally splitting in two. Very small fruits are a litter problem when abundant. 'Capital' is narrow-columnar in form and is severely susceptible to fireblight. The aesthetics of this cultivar decrease considerably with age. Considered invasive in many areas.
