Pyrus calleryana ‘Bradford’
A beautiful spring-flowering tree! Fast growing to a height of 30-50 feet and a width of 20-30 feet with a narrow and erect canopy. Expect a 15 feet increase in height in 8 years.
The showy white flowers appear in spring before the leaves covering the tree. In the fall the leaves turn mahogany-red and sometimes bright orange-red in very late autumn.
This tree may be grown as a specimen, screen or street tree. Excellent in urban settings because of its tolerance to pollution.
The Bradford pear grows best in full sun but will tolerate part shade. It requires low-to-medium fertility. It tolerates most soil types and conditions, including occasional wet soils or drought.
The Bradford pear was named for a Roman Catholic missionary and collector J.M.M. Callery. It is a deciduous tree that is native to China, but is used in the US for ornamentation (for its beautiful spring flowers), shade, fruit and foliage. NOTE: The fruit are very small and not really edible, but do make a good tasting wine.
