New Online Invasive Plant Database!

This database is a resource for anyone in the state for education and management of invasive plant species. The Invasive Plant Database is not a static list, but we will be continually updating as new information becomes available.

The invasive Callery Pear
The problem!
The callery pear (Pryus calleryana) is a medium- sized tree that has commonly been used as an ornamental due to its’ showy white flowers in early spring and beautiful fall foliage. This rapidly growing tree provides shade around homes and commercial property and birds consume the fruit. There are both thorned and thornless cultivars. The Bradford pear or Chanticleer pear are common cultivars that show resistance to disease and pests and tolerate a range of environmental conditions.
