Ornamental Pear Tree

Question

I am looking for the name of the pear tree that has multi-colored leaves in the fall. I have seen them in late November and early December with orange, red and purple shades Can you help? Thanks.

Answer 1

This is likely a Pyrus calleryana, an ornamental pear species. The picture might be of “Autumn Blaze,” a very colorful variety that has a silhouette similar to the tree you show, or it might be “Bradford” or several other varieties.
