    This is a tree in central KS. Can anyone identify this tree?

    Definitely looks like a pear tree. I know we have Pyrus calleryana in KS. I'm not sure about Pyrus chanticleer. Thanks for your response!

    As far as I'm aware, Pyrus 'Chanticleer' is just one of many named cultivars of Pyrus calleryana. I'd just call this Pyrus calleryana unless you can get any definitive info from where it was bought (if it was!) stating it is a particular named cultivar. All the self-sown seedlings of course do not have cultivar names.
