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.

Water Saving Tip:
Change spray sprinklers to low-flow bubbler or drip systems. Shrubs and trees are ideal candidates for this type of irrigation because the water is applied directly to the root zones.
