We had a Bradford pear (mistake) that's been taken down. Will it send up
suckers from the roots?

possibly. Go out and buy a Cleveland pear to replace it and you've done
yourself a favor. Better tree, medium growth rate, beautiful flowers, nice
shape when mature and less likely to snap off in storms like the Bradford,
and no stinky smell when it flowers like the Bradford too. Finish and remove
the stump and plant that Cleveland in it's place..........

The BPs in my neighborhood are at an age where one or two go with every big
storm. I haven't seen any problems with sucker in my neighbors' yards.

Hi Vox Humana,

The BPs in my neighborhood are at an age where one or two go with

storm. I haven't seen any problems with sucker in my neighbors'
yards.

As you said, they are old and may under stress, and lack of starch to
regrow. For those younger trees, there is chance they will regrow when
condition are right.
