The Flowering Pear tree blooms in white during the very early spring and is recommended as being very cold hardy to grow in almost every State of the U.S. The flowers appear overnight covering each branch and twig, up and down, forming rapidly in large clusters to completely encircle all the leafless twigs with repeating and alternating white globes of fluff, assuring a future of fragrant resonant spring memories. The most desirable flowering pear tree canopy shape is a teardrop form, because excessive limb breakage can be avoided, and the life of the flowering pear tree is greatly extended. Decades ago the Bradford flowering pear tree was the most important original cultivar planted, because of its desirable globe canopy form, but that flowering Bradford pear tree cultivar has been largely discontinued by most nurseries, because the branches usually grew parallel to the ground, and the branch unions at the tree trunk were weakened, and that caused cracking which opened up easy entrances for rot and insects. Those openings eventually led to the death of the flowering trees. The new flowering pear tree cultivar named, “Cleveland” is an excellent shaped tree with spectacular blooms that has proven to avoid all the extensive limb breakage problems of the old obsolete flowering pear varieties.
