Callery Pears Stand Out in Fall Color Right Now, and Their Tight V-Shaped Crotches Split Under Wet Snow

Post Copy

That bright red tree down the street? Probably a Callery pear.

Easy to spot in fall color, and known for tight V-shaped crotches that split under wet snow. Check where the main limbs meet: a crack or a seam down the trunk means it's time for a closer look.

Image / Media Suggestion

Real photo of a Callery (Bradford) pear in red or purple fall color on a local property, plus a close-up of the narrow V-shaped crotch where the main limbs meet. A photo of a split pear from a past job is ideal if one exists. Authentic photos from real Greg Smith Tree Service jobs strongly preferred over stock images.
