|  Is this Pyrus ussuriensis These are semi-advanced trees planted within the last 3 years, 3.5m tall crown spread to 2.5m, all about 4m apart, x 19 in all. Most are doing just fine ...just need to confirm species....leaves have petiole 3cm long, leaf blade broad orbicular 8cm x 8cm (and poplar-like), waxy and slightly paler below, obvious venation. (Neighbour tells me thay are deciduous). I think they are Pyrus ussuriensis...but not totally familiar with then as they ar'nt really a coastal planting. BTW, they ARE grafted. Yay or nay (or what then).  |

| Re: Is this Pyrus ussuriensis I'd say yes. Definately a Pyrus and i'd say ussuriensis by what i'd call a more ovate leaf shape than the other common Ornamental Pears, calleryana and nivalis which are truly orbicular with rounded tips and smooth edges. |

| Re: Is this Pyrus ussuriensis I suspect this is a cv. ....I even looked for tags from from grower...no luck. Im like you...I've seldom seen them here ..closest from memory is at Camden, NSW .... at Gledswood Farm. Its academic anyway really, the trees are fine and there enough space for them (just would'nt like to get it completely wrong). There are no fruits and no colour ...nothing but green leaves and buds. Thankx anyway. |

| Re: Is this Pyrus ussuriensis I cant say I took too much notice of the mulch...except that it was deep ...probably 75-100mm....it may have been mulch left from the former line of Bangalay Eucalypts that were here (that's Euc.botryoides). Those trees (about 15 in all) were in a pretty bad state with buried trunks (about first 500mm) and aerial decline. A couple were pretty corrupt from termites (I inspected those trees in 2004...in the context they were neighbours trees to a proposed development site next-door...over that fence you can see). Anyway the whole lot (trees) got removed and replaced....I'm guessing the developer offered to have them removed ... they would have been quite spatially demanding to his site...(but I dont know for sure). These new trees must have been planted by a Landscape Contractor...or at least some-one who knew what they were doing....very regular spacing @ 4m to the dot, staked and tied correctly...no weeds coming through...although some regrowth from the Callistemon stumps (Botlebrush) which were previous interplantings. A very nice replacement planting indeed.... |
