Back in Jan. we had a hugh ice storm and LOTS of damage. Seems like the trees that faired the worst were the elms and bradford pears. Someone was telling me of a "new" or different strain of pear tree that was much more resistive to wind/ice damage then the bradfords that EVERYONE seems to have planted. Would this be the Cleveland pear tree or another variety? Any suggestions on a nice uniform shaped tree that is strong and doesn't get much over 20 to 25 feet tall? Thanks for the replys!!
