Callery pears (Bradford, Cleveland, Aristocrt) are indeed beautiful, early to flower, almost disease free, great summer and late autumn color. Fast growing, too. But I think they're too common in the midwest. The great old neighborhoods have mature hardwoods: red oaks, pin oaks, sugar maples, etc. Do you think homeowners in new subdivisions should plant more hardwoods? Even though payback is 15 -20 years away?
