Hi

I am gathering data on naturalisations of Callery Pears.

Do you think this was planted deliberately, or sown by seed dispersal or grown from a sucker?

What environment was it in?

Was it suckering?

Thanks,
Kate

From location it came from a seed. It is in grassy woodland of nature reserve. I didn't notice any suckers, but it is a young tree so suckering is unlikely.
