Description

The 'Bradford' is a deciduous tree that grows to a size of 30'-50' tall. Profuse clusters of single white flowers bloom in the spring from noticeably sweeping branches. Glossy green leaves turn maroon in the fall. This tree needs to be pruned regularly to maintain a pleasing shape; thin overcrowded interior branches to prevent splitting.
