| Recently lost Bradford tree in last snowstorm. We are looking to replace it with another tree. It is close to a patio, our pool, and our house. It was a great shade tree.
We would like to replace it with a deep rooted, sturdy shade tree that does not get bigger than 30-40ft. Some people have recommended a kwanza cherry or cleveland pear. Any comment on those two trees or other possible ideas? Thanks. |

| "Some people have recommended a kwanza cherry or cleveland pear (to replace my Bradford)." Sorry, but I just have to say....Good grief Charlie Brown!!!!!!! |

| Cleveland pear is too much like Bradford pear. Ornamental cherry is nice, but it does get wide - is that a consideration? |
