Can you propagate plants from an ornamental pear?

Yes, you can propagate ornamental pear trees (Pyrus calleryana) through several methods, including seed propagation, grafting, and cuttings. However, seed propagation may not produce true-to-type plants, as they can revert to different characteristics than the parent tree. Grafting is often preferred for maintaining specific traits, while hardwood or softwood cuttings can also be effective but may require proper care and conditions for successful rooting.
