The Bradford Pear is a deciduous tree known for its attractive white flowers that bloom in early spring. It typically grows to a height of 30 to 50 feet and has a rounded crown. This tree is often used in landscaping for its ornamental value and fast growth. However, the Bradford Pear has become controversial due to its weak branching structure, which makes it prone to breakage during storms. Additionally, it can spread aggressively and outcompete native species, leading to ecological concerns. As a result, some regions have begun to limit or ban its planting.
