Just had the arborist out to cut back our Bradford Pears. I was surprised as I did not think he liked to top Bradfords but his workers came out did this tree. Looks like it was topped to me. Am I wrong or right? You can see they reduced the size but we are very happy to try to keep the tree and this hopefully will help it from splitting. Happy with its look now like it on the smaller size really.Hoping in spring it will look like a lollie pop again with lots of white blooms.
