Homeowner Growing and Maintenance TipsBradford is highly resistant to fire blight. Any fruit that set are tiny and hang on the tree well in the fall. It is not messy. Bradford has narrow crotch angles which weaken the tree and often will cause it to break down from storm and ice damage as it gets older.
