布拉德福德梨树

我的布拉德福德梨树正在失去他们的树皮。 我能做些什么呢？

你（可以）采取什么行动​​，取决于是什么原因造成树皮脱落。 树皮可因任何事情，包括：机械性损伤，干旱，病虫危害。 这将是最好的，有树艺在看树，以确定到底是什么问题，可以做些什么来解决它。

我的布拉德福德树梨花不会生长什么我可以做吗？

如果你受精树，浇灌它，并将它种植在阳光下，它应该成长。 如果所有的真实，它仍然不长，也许它下面的土壤是一个问题（例如，排水不畅），所以你最终可能会尝试移栽。

，我只是种植一个年轻的布拉德福德大约一个星期前。 最近两天，我们有30公共卫生与阵风风速高达40。 树的叶子枯萎了，看死了。 我试图保持地面潮湿，但似乎没有什么帮助。 是我的树确定？ 我能做些什么，以帮助它恢复？

新移植的树木，是很常见的经验移植冲击。 他们不安的根源找到，难以有足够的水滋养叶，作为一个既定的树能够做到。 大风只是加剧了这个问题，结果是叶萎。

可以采取的积极行动的事实后，以帮助在这一点上树，是有限的。 但这里的什么不该做：不要fertilze。 施肥将促进额外的叶片生长 - 你不希望的，因为树的不安根已经正在努力奋斗才能正常工作。

但是，定期水布拉德福德梨树 - 和玩“等待游戏”，看看它是如何拉通过。

好运气。

去年我种了5个小布拉德福德梨，并注意到他们没有花。 我抬头一看收据，他们Bradfords我购买。 任何想法？

布拉德福德梨树不晕染可能的原因是多方面的。 例如，花芽可能已损坏的元素;树木可能没有收到足够的水，有可能是土壤缺乏。 关于后者时，作为一般规则，植物不能开花，通常建议的补救办法是磷施肥。 但实际上，可能的原因是如此之多，在这里，人们可以提供比猜测更小。

作为后续评论我以前的问题，树也长出无数的树叶，但不花。 你的答案是否保持不变？

可以。 在某些情况下盛开的问题是相当不同的枝叶问题。 这就是为什么植物有时叶子像疯了似的，还不能绽放。 这是特别真实的，问题是当土壤有关。

我有2布拉德福德梨，3年前种植的树木。 一人死亡和其他生活。 其中一人死亡的土壤挖成软黄油，其他的树是在重粘土。 新树小一岁，是越来越多，像疯了似的盛开，但旧的人似乎对生命的支持。 没有穷人树移栽和震撼，这将是我的选择没有令人震惊的树移除/松开粘土？

那么，在技术上，我想这是不可能解决问题，没有移栽树。 但是，让我们得到“实质问题”，他们说：这种或那种方式，解决这一问题，它似乎是不可避免的，你必须采取令人震惊的根源机会的。 的根源，毕竟，有 - 有权在任何工作，你可能与树底下的土壤方式。

试图逃避根通气他们脚下的泥土的方法之一是使用一个螺旋。 马里奥Vaden说：

“我们倾向于第三种方法 - 一个小的螺旋位直径约1至3英寸的战略枯燥的小曝气孔。 偶尔位符合根的表面，但很容易扭转的螺旋，将它重新定位，以方几英寸。“

我只是一个布拉德福德梨树种植，有人告诉我，我会厂，以至少两个绽放。 这是真的吗？

我的理解是，布拉德福德梨树，男性和女性的部分发生翁相同的花 - ，所以没有，你不需要两个布拉德福德梨树授粉。

我在我的草坪杂草控制的过程。 我知道我的土壤pH值低 - 需要使石灰。 我必须等待一定的时间内，用石灰，或者我可以做在同一时间吗？

我不知道任何需要单独的应用程序前急诊除草剂和石灰。

我已经在我的面前花园布拉德福德梨树北侧的房子。 今年春天，树浮出来得很晚，以及非常人烟稀少。 去年秋天的叶花蕾不开放。 新枝出现，但在去年的增长主要分支的节点。 在6年来，我有树，我从来没有见过这之前。 任何想法？

你写的：“去年秋天的叶花蕾不开放。”只是一个猜测，但也许您的布拉德福德梨树叶芽轻微受损（感冒等）。

我应该如何失去palnt一个Braford佩拉车道？

我的问题应该阅读应该如何接近车道我厂布拉德福德梨

虽然布拉德福德梨树不麻烦的根源，​​我从来不建议种植树木比你有一个车道。 为了减少损坏的机会，可以考虑安装一个障碍，类似人们用来控制竹竹障碍。 它可能是标新立异，建议在这方面的障碍，但它会把你放心 - 不仅布拉德福德梨树，但其他任何你可能想有植物。 再次，即使有障碍，宁可谨慎，把好车道的布拉德福德梨树（我没有一个确切的数字）之间的距离。

我们的建设者/开发种植16布拉德福德梨树代替16硬木树荫在城市的法规规定的树木。 6年后，树木都有点“可悲”，不提供任何遮荫。 我们不相信，这些树木已种植，因为他们不提供“乘凉”，我不相信他们是“硬木”树。 请向我们提供您的意见（S）。 非常感谢您为您的预期反应。

布拉德福德梨树，现在通常被认为是一个糟糕的选择（和一个不​​必要的选择，现在，上级的“殿堂”品种梨树开花的选项）。 从这个意义上，“我就在你身边。”

不过，我不会推动“硬木”和“。布拉德福德梨树”区别是爱荷华州自然资源部说，何谓“硬木”：

“反对以软木硬木是相对而言的。 硬木一般定义为落叶乔木，即棚在冬季落叶的树木，树林。 然而，一些硬木不。 此外，一些硬木比一些软木软。 混淆的情况，本集团分为硬阔叶木，柞木，水曲柳，胡桃木的例子，如三角叶杨，榆树，柳树，软枫等软硬木。 只要你局限于宇宙爱荷华州或美国中西部，硬木的物种散在年度基础上他们的叶子和软木是常青树。“

所以在技术上，布拉德福德梨树被视为硬木，因为它们是落叶。

我有两个异常大的布拉德福德梨，13岁。 我看到在我区经过多年的天气破坏这些树木很多，但是，我的树似乎已经从要素保障。 今年的树木有更大的梨，今天，我发现一个非常明亮的橙色模糊涂层上的梨或花粉，这是我以前从未见过。 这种物质是下降的草坪上。 这是花粉;是正常的;草坪或aninmals（松鼠，鸟类）等有害？

对不起，我从来没有经历过，在布拉德福德梨树。 唯一甚至远程听起来就像是褐腐病 。

我有一个，是两年半岁的布拉德福德。 大约一个月前，我发现叶子的一半死亡。 什么可能的问题，我能做些什么呢？

如果布拉德福德梨树上奄奄一息的叶子是黄色的，它可以overwatering（解决办法：不要这么多水/提供更好的排水）。 如果布拉德福德梨树叶片奄奄一息的是棕色的，它可能是风烧伤（解决方案：提供了防风）。

您好，我有2个非常大的布拉德福德梨我前面的草坪上。 他们现在大约6岁，还从来没给我任何麻烦，直到今年。 几个月前，我修剪树枝，使他们没有触摸的房子并没有覆盖的车道。 星期后，我发现分支脱落在这里和那里。 我也注意到叶。 我折磨成桩的草坪我的草坪。 树木本身看起来很健康，所以我不明白这一点。 如果我看树，我看到这里有分行准备下降，因为他们都死了。 但它只是小树枝在年底，而不是一个完整的肢体。 散发性。 救命啊！

也许你引入您的布拉德福德梨树某种疾病，当你修剪呢？ 只是一个猜测 - 很难知道有没有被。 请与您当地的县扩展（通常是在最近的大学），看看他们是否已经听到这个消息在您的地区。

我失去了一个13岁的老布拉德福德梨由于去年冬天到冰暴。 今天，在前院，我看到的是另一个分裂离地面约一英尺。 最近恶风暴。 它是美丽的，所以我们削减一些下肢和两个扳手带子皮带绑一起举行。 我希望它使得四夏天。 我将永远不会再计划之一。

许多成熟的beadfords叶子正在转向深褐色。 我注意到，如果不剪掉枯叶分行以后将成为整个树的致命伤。 这是什么，可以做些什么呢？

虽然布拉德福德梨树抗火疫病，并不意味着它们完全免疫（尤其是在温暖的气候），也许是你的树火疫病。 这将考虑为在受影响的分支提示的棕叶。 火疫病菌可以向下移动分支和形式溃疡，最终杀死分支。 西梅关闭和布拉德福德梨树受影响的分支处理，以阻止细菌的传播。

我想，我的硬盘线与布拉德福德梨树。 我需要20到30和我住在阿拉巴马州，你认为这将是一个好主意或他们很难照顾。

我不建议布拉德福德梨树，特别是这种规模的树枝太容易打破，你便可以了很多钱！ “雄鸡”被认为是卓越的卡勒梨树品种。

这是一个资源！ 我有两个布拉德福德梨附近的街道，都种植了四年前。 其中一人有更多的“梨”，但里面的叶转向瑞迪施褐色，但不觉得还是看脆。 其他约五十，在相同的土壤（粘土prevalant）脚是非常绿色的，有几个“梨”是我的红色树死亡或陷入困境？ 对于它的价值，他们从来没有花。

如果叶子“没有感觉或看起来脆”，它不健全严重。

你说你的布拉德福德梨树从未花。 但是，如果他们有梨，要没有开花在一些点？

我有4个非水果布拉德福德在我的前面的草坪梨树，至少12岁。 昨天，一分成两半，几乎在一场风暴。 它实际上是从树的其余部分剥离，留下一个4英尺的“伤口”。 我应该砍掉树的其余部分，涵盖的东西是什么？“伤口”，或息事宁人恢复吗？

树木伤口涂料是高度吹捧，因为它使用的是。 结合试样的形状，这是永远毁了，我不得不说剪下来，所以其毁容不会提请注意远离其余的布拉德福德梨树。

我的布拉德福德梨都围绕在几个地区的珍稀小浅孔。 关于橡皮擦深度。 他们是在一个圆形图案的大部分。 任何想法

吉尔，

如果由一个“圆形图案”你的意思是您的布拉德福德梨树孔似乎合抱的树干，如果这些孔均匀分布（如果在一个模式，而不是分散各地，仓惶），啄木鸟可能是负责任的。 如果啄木鸟是，事实上，罪魁祸首，你不需要采取任何行动 - 它应该是罚款。 否则，我会说“蛀虫” - ，并建议杀虫剂。

我们有一个约19岁的开花布拉德福德。 它绽放美丽的今年，有很大的绿叶。 少数变成褐色，然后几乎在一夜之间，整个树那样。 我们预计树已经死亡，但要以确保我们剪下来。 任何希望在这里？

威廉

在这里你可以看到一个讨论关于棉花根腐病，从布拉德福德梨树显然 ​​只是突然死！ 虽然我不能给一个明确的诊断和/或预后，通过网络，显然，它不看起来好你的标本。 考虑到布拉德福德梨树都应该有一个寿命只有25-30年，无论如何，我不认为是不合理的，建议你开始思考更换。

我刚得到一个新的布拉德福德树两个星期背上，叶子变成褐色，并最终下来，这是由于overwatering或意思以来几乎是一个新的树，它需要更多的水？

水为这棵树的总体要求是什么？ 我留在密歇根州作为参考。

阿尔曼多，

我的猜测是，你最大的问题是不是您的布拉德福德梨树越来越多少或有少许水，而是你决定植物一年的时间。 春天和秋天是更好的种植时间;炎热的夏季是非常困难的树苗容忍的。

然后，是你的布拉德福德梨树，可能只是简单的强调了。 作为一个年轻的布拉德福德梨树浇水的时间表，我说大约一个星期两次，虽然这方面的意见，始终是“粗”，因为有太多的变量，提供精确的浇水时间表（树的大小，土壤排水，天气等）。

你猜多久水和施肥布拉德福德梨树

至于浇水布拉德福德梨树，看到阿曼多卡尔德响应（正上方）。 当布拉德福德梨树是建立和大，给他们一个很好的一个星期浇水一次。

我不是一个巨大的信徒，宁愿堆肥施肥，而不是化肥。 当我不使用化肥，我倾向于使用什么样的方向说的一半。 另一种方法是使用化肥开花的树（阅读包装上的指示）拟尖峰。

在过去2个星期，我的布拉德福德梨树，其叶子死抓树，我仍然可以看到绿色。 它是大量的水。 我灌溉我的财产。 我已经看到了奇怪的昆虫看上去像一个黄色的外套和长足爬行的昆虫之间的交叉。 我的树是还不成熟，是10岁左右。 你认为它是什么？

听起来并不像我任何有害昆虫。 因为你说你的布拉德福德树梨花“是获得大量的水，”我最好的猜测是，你可能会过度浇水：建立布拉德福德梨树是比较抗旱。

我有一个布拉德福德我6年左右的梨树。 我种了它，当它是只是一个小树枝，现在它代表约6英尺，这是做的非常好，除了它凑到我要振奋精神，所以风不吹下来。 树不断strighten要振奋精神，所以我不？

这里有事项对夫妇生育一个应该思考一下，当涉及到靠在布拉德福德梨树（或任何其他树木，对于这个问题，）：

1。当你振奋，您使用的是跑马圈地接受的方法吗？ 这里的上跑马圈地的视频的链接：

如何桩号树

一个相关的问题是，你给树取出的支持前，一个“梅开二度期”？ 我不能给月/年的确切数字，但我知道有些人过于急躁约跑马圈地。

2.Consider地面下您的布拉德福德梨树。 它是稳定的地面，土壤，根可以得到一个立足点？ 如果不考虑您的布拉德福德梨树移栽到另一个位置。

布拉德福德梨树是美丽的，但最终会屈服于暴风雨。 多年来，我见过许多碎的梨。 或许有强壮的品种 - 我不知道。 但我会说：树木需要数年时间（几十年）成熟。 树一旦屈从于风/冰，昆虫的损害，等你失去不仅是金钱和劳动力，但时间 - 并没有资金和劳动力的数量将取代时间。 种植树木，将生存和发展。 布拉德福德梨树看伟大的5-10年，但一旦他们很容易受到风和冰的损害较大增长。 植物物种将经得起时间的考验。 梨是漂亮，但最终你可能会发现自己的W / A破树，电锯和树桩清除。 和你永远不能失去的时间。

只是我的意见。

我去年秋天种了三个布拉德福德梨。 今年小叶子上出现的树木，但非常sparsly。 我住在新泽西，我还没有看到这个问题之前。 有什么建议？ 树木被确定的？

您好玛莎，

请上张贴布拉德福德梨在树上美化你的问题的论坛，为每在这个博客帖子注意上面，。

几个月前，我种了布拉德福德梨树。 约8英尺高，现在，它是相当光秃秃的，在购买时。 现在有一个很好的顶部，但也有很多大量的树叶树干底部的“冤大头”。 我应该切断的吸管，以增加在顶部的枝叶吗？

您好迈克，

请上张贴布拉德福德梨在树上美化你的问题的论坛，为每在这个博客帖子注意上面，。

大约15年前，我种我的布拉德福德梨。 它已通过乔治飓风卡特里娜和现在古斯塔夫，看起来还是造型优美。 我喜欢它的颜色一年四季。

大约6个星期前，我的丈夫和我种了布拉德福德树。 我们认为，它有火疫病大约3个星期前，但当地的苗圃观察树叶和说，这是刚刚从夏末播种强调。 现在，我们注意到，这是开始花！ 这是怎么回事？ 这是否意味着它不会花明年春天吗？？ 帮助！

德碧，

按上述消息在附带的博客文章，请询问有关问题布拉德福德梨在论坛。

我可以告诉你这么多，虽然。 它强调植物过早开花的情况并不少见。 我也不会指望上绽放太多明年：植物往往需要时间，成为绽放正确之前建立。

如果我修剪回我的布拉德福德梨树，如果是这样，什么是最好的策略和方法，使用的吗？ 感谢。

欧阳，

每在这个博客帖子注意上面，布拉德福德梨树上的问题，现在应该被美化论坛。 谢谢。

我们刚刚失去了我们的布拉德福德树梨花风暴。 超过一半的树，现在下落不明。 直到这一点，我们曾经爱过我们的梨树。 美丽的春天，夏天，秋天和冬天。 多年来，它有阴影的庭院。 我们试图保持它薄，所以风会不会造成分裂，但最后这风暴“（IKE）拿出来。 他们是美丽的树木，但不能风一旦被充分。 我的丈夫希望保持种植，只要将一个新的取代，我们最终会松动。 这是不可避免的。 但我愿意尝试别的东西，将有后劲。

感谢。

我想修剪/顶我布拉德福德。 什么时间一年，我应该如何大幅削减回？ 25'高，我听到了所有的恐怖故事。

兰斯，

布拉德福德梨树上的所有问题，现在正在回答的美化论坛。 下面的链接：

谢谢。

25岁，它只是决定分裂。 村园艺约翰说，这是一个潜在的定时炸弹。 我只在这里住了一年，花了15个大明确袋耙去年我是在检查这几年计数规划。 它的一个9英尺残端现在！！

我去了，lanscaping链接，当我做了搜索布拉德福德梨树，我得到绝对没问题，只是在头版

为什么这个列表关闭，似乎这么集中呢？

我有两个布拉德福德梨树约16岁和巨大的。 考虑到严重的剪枝和寻找一些指导。 这里是田纳西州，它是一种常见的做法是什么就可以了任何人的想法？

您好BtrentwoodTom

欢迎乘坐！

我的意思是，当你到论坛页面，你应该张贴您的问题（不搜索），所以布拉德福德梨树，您可以打开一个新的讨论。 我道歉，如果这是不明确的。

评论部分没有“得关闭”我只是想保留它，它最适合的服务功能： 张贴评论。 相比之下，本次论坛，是成立一个更好的问题比注释部分是适合在这样的方式。

但是，因为我们现在在这里，让我布拉德福德梨树解决你的问题。 我建议你阅读本网站上的信息，一般约修剪布拉德福德梨树。

但是，对于严重的旧布拉德福德梨树修剪，你可以运行到有点问题，事后在其外观方面。 它更容易修剪年轻布拉德福德梨树，然后继续照顾他们。 随着他们年龄的增长，其分支机构增长如此之大，修剪他们关闭真的趋于破坏，经典的布拉德福德梨树的形状，这样的很大一部分自己的美丽。

然后，我个人而言，避免严重的修剪，只接受，布拉德福德梨树，他们最终会屈服于损害。 在此期间，您可以启动一些年轻的替代其他地方的景观。

无论你决定这样做，好运与您的布拉德福德梨树！

当植物是最好的时机？ 有人告诉我，它是在秋天。 你可以在秋季后期植物或在早期春天如何？？ 任何帮助表示赞赏！

如果您使用化肥尖峰，施肥布拉德福德梨树，你不挑食，定时施肥，因为它们是缓慢释放。

我没有从风暴的损害与保护的布拉德福德梨树经验“魁梧”，但它是一个有趣的的想法。

您好，我们住在拉斯维加斯。 去年，我们在自家院子里种植一个布拉德福德梨树，它似乎相当健康成长。 它只是花几个星期前，当天气转为温暖。 这是在今年适当的时候给它植物性食物？ 什么样的植物性食物是树权吗？ 谢谢！

薰衣草，

如果您使用化肥尖峰，施肥布拉德福德梨树，你不担心的施肥的确切时间，因为它们是缓慢释放。

得克萨斯州

高风的压力可能造成您的布拉德福德梨树树干的裂缝。 如果它是一个不同类型的树，也许我会建议尝试修复。 但是这可能只是你的问题与布拉德福德梨树的开始。 我开始寻找一个替代的东西，将站起来，高风问 - 在您当地的苗圃。

我有一个在我的院子里，布拉德福德和许多在附近。 它们的香味是可怕的。 它有一个腐烂或动物的臊。 我知道这听起​​来很疯狂，但邻里喜欢它的气味。 我已经走到闻到他们。 有没有人注意到这一点？ 我对这些树木。

布赖恩

你并不孤单：有些人认为布拉德福德梨树花臭。

我有一个3岁的布拉德福德梨，并没有大的第一年。 第二年，我们把周围的树的花床和第三年遭受冰灾期间。 现在，几乎没有产生叶？ 它绽放美丽的过去两个星期，但在附近的树木，大多是用树叶。 你觉得我的问题可能是花坛或冰暴吗？ 然后什么我可以做吗？

谢谢，
特丽莎 - 俄克拉何马城

崔西，

我倾向于责怪您的布拉德福德梨树上的冰暴（哪些有没有什么可以做，不幸的是）的问题， 因为提出病床植树不一定有问题。

我有一个日本的邻居讲英语很破，所以我告诉她我会尽力帮助她。 她曾在她家院子里的三个布拉德福德梨树。 一开花，两个不开。 他们可能已经在地面4年。 任何两个理由不开花？

唐娜

布拉德福德梨树不晕染许多可能的原因。 例如，花芽有时在寒冷的冬季，损坏树木可能没有收到足够的水，你的土壤可能缺乏的营养成分（做一个土壤测试，绝不会伤害）。

布拉德福德梨树开花，你也不应该把太多的股票，可以简单地拥有健康的标本，在购买时或土壤下可能会略有不同，或其他两个可以有持续前进的道路上（例如，在播种时）某种损伤。

我们的10年。 老布拉德福德梨树失去了许多四肢由于冰雪覆盖新成立的花朵本周末。 一边是完全消失了。 反正有修复它？

苏珊，

总之，没有。 布拉德福德梨树美丽的部分原因是它们的形状，而一旦失去四肢的损失，他们的审美价值下降（他们永远看“不平衡”）由于。 因此，建议切换到殿堂梨树 。

我有（6）在我家院子里的大布拉德福德梨树。 他们都种植了6年前当我建立了我的家。 是美丽的，非常充分。 树干可能是直径在10英寸和肢体跨度大概是15岁以上英尺宽。 突然，我注意到，（3）他们开始有枯叶。 这是怪异，树整体看起来超健康，然而6-10四肢的结尾部分变成褐色，萎蔫。 有些损坏的叶片，有一半是棕色和绿色的一半。 和受影响的四肢末端（约一英尺），其余的肢体/对树干的叶子很好看。

任何帮助和/或意见将是巨大的。

关于大卫

my neighbor asked me to remove our Bradford Pear tree because it is inhibiting the growth of the other hardwoods. Is that possible? And should I remove it?
谢谢！

Sarita,

I can't advise you on whether or not you “should” remove your Bradford pear tree. That's really a personal decision. If it's planted on your own land and isn't threatening destruction of another's property, you would seem to have every right to it.

But if you wanted to be extra-cautious about staying on this neighbor's good side, you could, of course, give in and remove your Bradford pear tree. But someone who would ask you to do that sounds like a potential bad neighbor to me.

As to the Bradford pear tree's inhibiting the growth of other trees, that sort of thing is always possible, sure (if it's shading them, then it could be inhibiting their growth).

大卫

Just a guess regarding the problem with your Bradford pear trees, but perhaps the reason the inner parts weren't damaged (by whatever inclement weather you may have had?) is that they were shielded by the outer parts (which, in turn, had nothing to shield *them*).

Do Bradford pear trees produce more pollen than other trees?

Spring allergies, three large limbs down, one damaged vehicle and one trip to the emergency room…we're considering removing three 20 year old Bradfords.

Any feedback is appreciated.

Russell,

I do not see Bradford pear trees specifically mentioned (one way or the other) in the article linked to from this blog on hypoallergenic trees .

My recommendation on how to care for Bradford Pear trees is simple; pull them up if small or cut them down if large. You don't want them period.

Yes they look nice and are shapely. But once they mature the branches will break and you'll have to cut it all down anyway. If you're lucky no one will be hurt or any property damaged. So in my opinion you may as well get it over with and start planting something else. Ironwood (American Hophornbeam) is a nice replacement, but there are of course many other small to mid-sized trees to choose from.

We've got many of them in our neighborhood, a good number have suffered this fate, and the rest will once they get larger.

They're considered an invasive species for a reason.

our bradford pear resides in a garden area in the front of our house with a northern exposure. The problem I'm having is the proliferation of suckers (?)throughout the adjacent area of our yard. Usually I control them with garden shears but this season they are so numerous that the concept of ” barefoot lawn” is a stretch. I'm prepared to remove this otherwise healthy specimen. Suggestions please.

Our beautiful bradford pear tree was pulled from the ground after some high winds. It is not split or snapped off. What can I do to pull it back up and try to save it? How do we anchor it to stay up? I would hate to lose this tree. It is about 7 years old.

布伦达，

I would try to stake your Bradford pear tree. This information on staking trees may help:

How to Stake Trees

Larry,

Suckering is just another of the drawbacks with Bradford pear trees. Unfortunately, manual control is the only viable control method, as the root system would take up any herbicide applied and it would harm the parent plant.

is it normal for a bradford pear tree to flower again in august >

Kinsmom,

It's not terribly unusual to have trees bloom out of season like that. I, myself just had a magnolia bloom for me.

My parents have a 10 year old Bradford Pair tree which is planted in the ground outside, that they think they over watered because after 3 days of wind with gusts up to about 40, the tree was left halfway blown over like there is no tap root to ground it. Is this the case? Does the tree have just feeders with no tap root. I haven't read this whole site and do not know if this has been addressed before. Thanks for your input. 条例草案“

Bill,

As far as I know, Bradford pear trees, like most trees, have most of their roots sitting in the top 12-18 inches of the soil. Furthermore, how far the roots push down will depend on soil conditions. Yes, it would be possible for severe over-watering to render them even less stable in high winds.

If I cut down my Bradfords will the roots continue to grow?

Hi Greg,

You may find that to be less of a problem than suckering, of which felled Bradford pear trees are known to be guilty.

Hello, we live in New England and have two Bradford Pears in our front yard. My husband and I planted them when we built our house, which was 41 years ago. I thought bradford pears don't last long and is it normal to have a tree that hasn't lost any major limbs? I know it is a Bradford Pear (it blooms white every April and turns red in the fall). They are both nicely shaped at 30 feet high and 25 feet wide. Sorry if I sound like I'm boasting. I just wanted to know if there is something wrong with why they have lasted over four decades. 感谢。

We planted Bradford Pear trees in our yard about 3 years ago and they are beautiful, but this year they smell really bad (like dead fish)…is this normal?

Kim,

Yes, it is normal. Bradford pear trees are beautiful in flower, but the blooms stink!

i have two year bradford pear the bark does not look good the tree has fruit an the leaves look ok what do you think it needs.

It is mid April, yellow leaves continuously fall 2-3 at a time. 什么是错的？

Angela,

Count your blessings! I'm glad to hear that your Bradford pear tree is an exception, in terms of longevity and avoiding limb damage.

Jimmy,

I'd need to hear more about your Bradford pear bark to diagnose the problem. But it wouldn't hurt to drive some tree fertilizer spikes around your specimen.

Betty Lee,

Yellow leaves on a Bradford pear tree in spring could be a sign of over-watering (whether by nature or by you) and/or poor drainage. If you have clay soil you may need to improve the drainage and/or aerate the soil. If the specimen sits in a low spot, you may need to improve the drainage. To aerate clay soil, I have heard of puncturing the ground with an auger. To improve drainage, you could dig channels to facilitate run-off. The latter, of course, is more feasible in a mulched area than in a lawn area (but hopefully it's just a case where you've over-watered the plant and simply need to stop watering so much).

I have a bradford pear and one side of the tree is dying and the bark is turning black what gives. 帮助

Do you think it's possible to force the Bradford tree to grow its main branches through each other for added strength. I see many that are nearly split in half when they give way and I often wondered if the same results would have occurred if the main branches were circled through each other.

We have a Bradford Pear, planted in front of our home by the city we live in, in 1982. When tree started to mature, we had it trimmed back every other year and continue to do so as of this date. Trunk is healthy, and fat, it was cut this year, so there is lots of new growth, however, one would think it was October, lots of yellow leaves fallling from inside the tree. What could our problem be? Also, I did notice this year, some “moss” type growth on the trunk. 谢谢。

For our country club in Iowa I am looking to add a little spice for the enterance drive in, would a Bradford Pear Tree work in this instance? We have two 5 foot wide burms (2-4 feet tall) that line the enterance road. Any suggestions on other trees? 谢谢！

Golf,

The 'Chanticleer' type is made of sturdier stuff than Bradford pear trees yet resembles them closely, so that is what I would go with if it's the look you're seeking.

My Bradford pear tree has little orange spikes that are coming right out of the little pears. It appears to be some kind of fungus. 任何想法？

Matt,

See post #25 above.

I just took a picture of it and thought you would be interested in seeing it.

http://i303.photobucket.com/albums/nn145/majopa01/DSC05030.jpg?t=1276111616

This looks like what has happened to my tree for the first time since it was planted in 1997. There is an orange powder that is emitted from these spikes and it is in every crevice of my car. Did you ever find out what this is?

Thanks, Matt. Not anything I've ever seen on Bradford pear trees before.

Matt, we have just noticed the same thing happening with our Aristocrat Pear, although the spikes and the “pollen” they are releasing is a somewhat darker orange. Tree is over 10 years old and this is the first time this has happened. Am trying to find out what it is.

we just moved into our home >

Ashley,

I would replace it with a Chanticleer pear tree .

Marlene,

Hello….I live in an apartment complex, and am trying to save one of our Bradford Pears. It recently survived straight line winds (well, took a chunk out about 2 years ago), but now have seemingly over a couple days noticed it's dying. Late June, and it looks yellow/brown. I am in Dallas, and we've had 95-100's for the last several weeks, and the other night I was up at 3am and think I found the culprit…a sprinkler head is broken and that station has been getting NO WATER. We haven't had rain in weeks either, and the last time I saw the geyser at 3am was a couple weeks ago. I've had a hose > trickling water on it since 2pm (it's 10pm now) and even though it's been flowing all day, the water hasn't run onto the driveway yet. Is this tree capable of being rescued?

Ree,

If the damage was too extensive during the dry period, there's no way to reverse it. I would care for this Bradford pear tree as you normally would for the rest of the year and just wait and see if it shows signs of life next spring. Sorry: I wish there were more that one could do in such a case, but there isn't.

We have recently moved into our Condo and the neighborhoods are lined with “Bradford” pear trees. To our surprise, our “pear” tree is loaded with pears. Our tree is the only one bearing fruit, but everyone says, it is a Bradford and it certainly looks like a Bradford. Could this be? 只是想知道。 感谢。

Larry,

Yes, they can produce small fruits.

I HATE my bradford pear tree. It drops these little round things every year all over the place, the flowers are smelly, and it has gotten HUGE and nearly unmanageable. Don't ever plant one close to your house or it will fill your gutters with those wierd berry things. I'd love to take a chainsaw to it.

We have two Bradford Pears, one in the front of our house and one next to the pool in the back. They seem to be perfectly healthy and quite lovely in the spring, summer and fall. Our question is this: as most people do in this area, Dallas, Tx, small gardens are place under the tree with bricks or other material and a few inches of dirt to plant annuals and the like. The problem is that the plants do not flourish and the dirt becomes spongy. Is this typical under the Bradford Pear? We have other trees with gardens under and they seem to be fine. We've tried to replace with fresh dirt every year, but it's relentless. What should we do?

Pam,

If you have success planting underneath other trees, there's no know reason I know of why you shouldn't be able to grow other plants under a Bradford pear tree, specifically. Perhaps try a different type of plant from what you've been planting there. It's possible that there's a conflict in water requirements: ie, if you have to water the Bradford pear trees a lot to keep them performing well, then the plants growing underneath them might be receiving excessive water (if they're relatively drought tolerant plants). The opposite could also be the case. So I'd recommend experimenting with plant selection, in an attempt to match your Bradford pear trees and the plants growing under them, in terms of water requirements.

My bradford pears are getting a moss like growth
on them. Is this harmful?

While I haven't inspected it in any great detail, I do believe I frequently see moss or lichen growing on the bark of people's Bradford pear trees. It doesn't seem to do them any harm.

I have 3- 10 year old Bradford pear trees in my yard. 2 of the trees are blooming and flowering , they look great. 1 of the trees has not bloomed, and is brown. Buds are brown on the end and the tree has grown at a slower rate than the other 2, although they were all planted at the same time. 任何意见？

Leah,

Frankly, I'd write off the one that is not blooming. Bradford pear trees are notoriously short-lived and susceptible to wind damage. I don't think it's worth the trouble to try to save it (even if you could).

What you report is a surprisingly common phenomenon, in terms of the 3 of them being planted at the same time but one of them underperforming. Why does this happen? The root cause could be any of a number of things, including (but not limited to):

• It was simply a “bad seed” from the beginning.
• Mechanical damage (eg, during mowing) or damage caused when you planted it.
• A patch of soil can be different from another that stands just a few feet away from it (and the patch in question may be lacking in some way).

I have a Bradford flowering pear tree it is 12 years old. This year I noticed the trunk is turning green and the leaves are not coming to full bloom. Some of the white blossom flowers are still on the tree, they did not fall off when the leaves bloomed. What might the problem be.

Michael,

The trunk turning green just sounds like moss, which is harmless. But regarding the poor leaf development, the only thing that comes to mind right away is to check for the presence of any insects.

I don't know for sure what tree our city planted on our yard, but it has white fish-smelling flowers for 2 weeks every May so it sounds like it could be a Bradford Pear tree.

The tree was planted in 1997 and this year for the first time, it is emitting an orange powder (started about 2 weeks ago) that is causing a mess to our cars which are parked in the driveway (tree is planted about 4 feet from the driveway). It also has a green mold/moss on the trunk. Our neighbours don't have the same issues with their trees – is there something wrong with our tree?

The image that “Matt” posted above is very similar to our situation, except the spikes have “burst” so they aren't intact anymore, thus causing the orange powder substance.

Barbara,

I've been reading recently about a disease called “Japanese pear rust” that seems to fit the profile of what you are describing. Based on this reading, I'm coming away with the conclusion that, while it's a nuisance (the orange powder getting all over your car, etc.), this disease is not something that is going to harm your Bradford pear tree seriously. And it's not supposed to be something that will keep occurring year after year. So it might be best to try just waiting it out for this year.

I live in Fort Worth Texas. We are having extreme heat and water drought right now. I was told Bradford Pears are pretty drought tolerant, but about two weeks ago my two mature Bradfords started looking a little pathetic. Wilted leaves and saggy leaves. They are not losing leaves… yet. Since then, I have been watering at night for about an hour on each tree. They are pretty mature trees, probably 10 years old, maybe more.

Is there anything special I should do?

Luke,

You may be doing a little too much. Even in Texas (and even for mature Bradford pear trees), one hour of watering every night sounds a bit extreme. I'm not saying that you're doing harm (hard to know without being there), just that I'd be somewhat concerned about potential damage due to over-watering. You might want to check (if possible) to determine whether the soil (underground, in the root zone) is really dry enough to warrant that amount of watering.

I agree with it “one hour of watering every night sounds a bit extreme. I'm not saying that you're doing harm (hard to know without being there), just that I'd be somewhat concerned about potential damage due to over-watering.”

It seems to be a real waste to plant such vulnerable trees.
