Chanticleer pear tree Growing Close to House

Do you think a Chanticleer Pear Tree growing 6 feet from home is too risky? Thanks

Bad cboice for a number of reasons. It is essentially a narrower Bradford and I believe was formerly known as Cleveland Select.

It is invasive in my state. You should check yours.

90% will die from breaking apart in the wind and becoming unattractive. Plant it where the maximum height and spread will not drop on on any cars or structures which can be damaged by it.

Seems fireblight is becoming more of an issue now we have planted millions of Callery Pear family clones of what, 4 lines?

Oh, and not next to walk ways or where people are going to be because the flowers, and they do flower nicely, the flowers have a urine like odor. The one the previous owners left me does.

You should research the mature width of a tree then divide it by half. Don't plant any closer than that figure. So if a tree gets 30 feet wide, it should not be planted closer than 15 feet to the house.

The best place to plant one of these is right on top of a big burn pile just prior to starting the fire.

LOL... Thanks to every one for your thoughts. We just took it down! It was only about 8 years old so not a real hard job. So why do these trees stink so badly. In the spring we had to keep door to outside closed it was so bad.
