Abstract excerpt
Callery pear (Pyrus calleryana Decne.; PC) possesses many desirable characteristics valued in managed landscapes. This has driven the release of numerous cultivars, including both hybrids and selections derived from native populations. The extensive planting of PC cultivars in managed areas has contributed to the widespread occurrence of invasive individuals across a broad range of habitats in the eastern United...
