    I am trying to figure out what is growing in my garden. We threw out some cherry seeds a year or so ago, but there are a lot of bradfords in my neighborhood too. There are two of these trees the first two pictures are from one tree and the next two are from the other. What ever they are, they are a little too close to my almond tree and I want to move them while they are still young.


    Thanks

    The one photo I am getting here shows a pear. Pyrus calleryana, of which 'Bradford' is a named selection is a reseeding pest species in some eastern states, perhaps including yours.

    Now I've got three additional pictures of pears.

    Thank you. I was hoping for cherry since they had the serrated edge, but since they are the pear, I am going to get rid of them. I do not like the pears at all.
