Bradford Pear |
|
The Bradford Pear is one of the first trees to bloom in the spring and a popular ornamental tree in Lubbock. It is often planted in areas where a very narrow growth habit is desired, but it can spread 20 ft to 30 ft. It also has a reddish fall color.
Although this tree has desirable traits, it is becoming overplanted, and many trees are showing signs of chlorosis and fire blight. |
