Korean Sun Pear
poirier ‘Westwood’
Pyrus fauriei ‘Westwood’
This is a small ornamental pear tree native to Korea. The tree has a compact rounded form and is very cold hardy. The flowers and fruit are quite small, but they are attractive as they appear in masses on the tree. The Korean Sun variety was selected for its attractive autumn colours of red, yellow, and orange. The tree can grow to a little over 5 metres tall. This tree is located along the path at the north end of the Arboretum, about 60 metres east of the point where the path meets Prince of Wales Drive.
