Pyrus calleryana 'Bradford'
Pyrus calleryana 'Bradford' (Bradford Pear) looks excellent when planted as a striking street tree, shade tree, or ornamental feature in both residential and urban landscapes. Its broad pyramidal to rounded form, reaching 12–15 meters tall with a 6–9 meter spread, provides strong seasonal structure and a formal, symmetrical silhouette that commands attention.
In spring, 'Bradford' is covered with abundant white blossoms that create a dramatic, cloud-like floral display before the leaves emerge. Through summer, glossy dark green leaves add lush texture, while autumn turns the foliage into vibrant shades of red, purple, and orange—delivering eye-catching seasonal color.
This cultivar pairs well with underplantings of low shrubs or groundcovers to soften its canopy edges and add layered interest. It thrives best in full sun and adapts to various soils, making it a versatile choice for parks, streetscapes, and large gardens.
Maintenance is low to moderate; regular pruning helps maintain its shape and prevent branch splitting. Moderate watering supports establishment and drought resilience once mature. Overall, 'Bradford' Pear offers impressive floral beauty, vibrant fall color, and reliable urban performance with a classic, elegant presence.
