Pyrus calleryana
Fruits are round, 0.5 in. (1.3 cm) in diameter and green to brown in color. The “Bradford” variety of pear, which produced sterile fruits, has been widely planted throughout the United States since the early 1900s, but recent cultivars, bred to reduce the tendency of the tree to split in snow or high winds, have produced viable seeds and escaped to invade disturbed areas.
