Flowering Pear is in Blossom

Our version of Callery Pear is the "Cleveland Select."  It is not a fruiting pear, but rather a flowering pear.  I'm sure you've seen them everywhere.  They are shapely and beautiful in blossom.  Most folks know them as the "Bradford Pear" as that is the most common of the Callery Pears.  The Bradford is more of a bowl shape while the Cleveland is more of a tear drop shape.  The Cleveland was bred to overcome some of the issues of the Bradford which is prone to snapping limbs and trunks under weight of ice or heavy winds.  Some states have labeled them invasive because they propagate rapidly under certain circumstances.  All of the Bradfords in our area flower 2 to 3 weeks before ours every year.  I can safely conclude that we are unique in our selection of the Cleveland Select because I don't see any flowering when ours do.
