Bradford Pear

The Bradford Pear, is one of the most popular trees in America. The Bradford pear serves us with a continuous parade of spectacular color throughout the growing season. Starting in the early spring with a mass of delicate snowy white blossoms, along with the spring and summer glossy dark green foliage. The fall brings a change from glossy dark green to attractive vibrant wine red color foliage. The Bradford Pear is a pyramidal tree with vertical branching and rapid growth. But at the end of their lifecycle around two to three decades the Bradford Pear starts to fall apart and decay. For the most part this tree is a great choose.

The Right Look For The Yard

Evergreen shrubs require careful spacing, especially since they are so often planted at doorways or at the base or foundation of a house. Juniper shrubs with horizontal shapes can spread to five or six feet in a few years. An 18-inch high Skandia juniper is far more useful under a ground level window than its 5-foot relative, juniper. Japanese Yews are often pruned tightly to keep them at a desired height or width, but some selections will grow into 20-foot trees or very wide shrubs over time. When choosing the proper evergreen for a location is to determine the area for the bush or tree to grow.
