Post #4093233

After reading Deb Magnes article on Bradford Pears, I am concerned about the two Cleveland pears that I have planted. We had a Bradford when we lived in Rockville, MD, that started to fall apart and suckered after being cut down at 18 years old. I am hoping to avoid the same thing with the Cleveland pears. Have they been around long enough to show their "true colors" or are they really sturdier than Bradford's? I live on the Eastern Shore of Virginia, HELP anyone!!!!
