  • Description

  • Notes

'Bradford' is a flowering pear with an upright and sort of formal shape; grows about 30 to 35 feet tall and 20 to 25 feet wide, though it gets taller and broader with age. Clusters of white flowers emerge in the spring before the foliage, which in turn is a glossy deep green turning reddish purple in the fall.
