Bradford Pears - Different kinds?
I bought a few bradford pears because I like their dark green leaves
amoung other attributes. The bradford pears I bought have light green leaves, and light colored bark. I thought they were like this just because they are young, but my step-dad bought a few of the same size that has the dark bark and dark green leaves. Have I bought the wrong tree, or will my change? Below are a few pics.... http://utseay.smugmug.com/photos/74304567-O.jpg http://utseay.smugmug.com/photos/74304645-O.jpg |

Bradford Pears - Different kinds?
said:
Noone knows? There are different cultivars. But your trees look like the newly planted ones I've seen in some pretty stressful locations (islands in parking lots). Most of the ones I've seen in yards or well established in public areas have dark green leaves. That looks like a pretty brown stretch of lawn the tree is plunked into. What's up with that? And what's going on with the base of the trunk in the second picture? It looks a bit strange. I do not like these trees much, personally. Too many faults vs. virtues. I especially dislike the way they reek when in bloom. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bradford_pear wrote: I bought a few bradford pears because I like their dark green leaves amoung other attributes.

Bradford Pears - Different kinds?
How come all the turf in the area is dead? You have a Bradford Pear,
but it is in dire need of some attention. You are under or over watering it and I can't tell if you have it planted too deep or too shallowly.
