Bradford

Bradford Ornamental Pear is a beautiful deciduous tree renowned for its magnificent display of white spring flowers, attractive glossy green foliage and spectacular autumn colours.

In early spring, the tree becomes covered in masses of delicate white blossoms, creating a breathtaking display. Throughout summer, its dense green canopy provides attractive shade before transforming into brilliant shades of red, orange, burgundy and purple in autumn.

With its upright, broadly pyramidal growth habit, Bradford Pear makes an impressive feature tree and is a popular choice for larger gardens, driveways and landscaped areas.
