Flowering Pear
About the
Bradford Flowering Pear :
The Bradford Flowernig Pear, Pyrus
calleryana, 'Bradford', is an extremely
popular, vigorous growing, medium size,
shade tree with outstanding clusters of
white blooms in spring and very attractive
terrific yellow to red to purple foliage
color in fall. The Bradford pear is a
beautiful garden addition that produces no
edible fruit. This flowering tree grows best
in full sun.
A great benefit of the Bradford is that
it is a rapid grower, achieving a 12 to 15
feet increase in height over an 8- to
10-year period. Bradford Pear trees are
shallow-rooted and will tolerate most soil
types. They are pest- and
pollution-resistant, and tolerate drought
well. It is one of the most fireblight-resistant
cultivar of the flowering pears. |
