Bradford Pear Tree

The Bradford Pear Tree is a medium-sized flowering tree reaching around 35 feet tall and just 15 feet wide. White, scented flowers cover the bare branches in spring and in fall the leaves turn beautiful shades of gold, red and purple. Because of its upright habit and narrow form, it is an ideal choice for smaller gardens and narrow spaces. Plant it as a specimen on a small lawn or use a row as a screen along the side of your property. This fast-growing tree is a great choice to get your garden started, bringing interest and color quickly, while slower trees are still becoming established.

• Fabulous spring display of white flowers
• Gold, deep red and rich purple fall colors
• Slender, upright shape is perfect for small gardens
• Fast growing – good choice for new properties
• Easy to grow even in urban conditions

Plant the Bradford Pear in full sun. It will grow in most soils, including heavy clay, where many other trees will fail. It is hardy, disease-resistant and grows in almost any kind of soil. It is also drought-resistant and needs very little care or attention to be constantly beautiful. It has few pests, and it is very resistant to fire-blight, a serious disease of edible pears. Once established it is very drought resistant, and it needs no special pruning or care to be a constantly beautiful addition to your garden.
