The root system of a Cleveland Bradford Pear tree can spread up to 20-30 feet from the trunk, with the majority of the roots concentrated in the top 12-18 inches of soil. It is important to plant the tree in a location that provides ample space for root expansion and to prevent issues with sidewalks, driveways, and foundations.
Pyrus calleryana
The Bradford pear tree (Pyrus calleryana 'Bradford') is a type of pear tree that has thorns. These thorns can be sharp and may pose a safety hazard, so caution should be taken when handling this tree.
For Cleveland Select pear trees, it is recommended to plant them at least 15-20 feet away from foundations to prevent root damage and ensure proper growth. Planting too close to a foundation can lead to structural issues as the tree matures and roots expand. Be mindful of the potential spread of the tree's root system when selecting a planting location.
It's chemical because you can't get the pear back to a whole.
