I have not bought any trees over 6 feet or so, but I think you have to
factor in the *labor* involved in planting a tree of that size (assuming
that you are going to have it delivered, rather than trying to deal with it
yourself).

Thanks for all your responses. From the overwhelming opinion against
Bradford pears, we have decided against planting them (well, the
nurseries don't have them anyways ;-)

Cleveland Pears are our current favorite. A local nursery (in Apex)
quoted about $230 for a 15 feet tree. That sounds a bit on the higher
end. Any opinions?
