Pyrus salicifolia 'Pendula', also known as the weeping willow-leaf pear or weeping pear, is a graceful tree with hanging branches and a striking appearance. The leaves resemble those of willows, hence the species name "salicifolia", which means "willow-leaved". The leaves are narrow, elongated and silvery grey in colour on the upper side, while the underside has a lighter shade.
In spring it grows small white flowers that appear in dense bunches, which gives extra beauty, but also a sweeter scent. The Pendula produces small, inconspicuous fruits.
The plant usually grows to a height of three to four meters and thrives best in full sun or light shade. It prefers well-drained, moist soils. Due to its elegant weeping shape and silvery leaves, the weeping pear is often used as a striking eye-catcher in gardens, parks and landscape designs.
