PITTSBORO — Chris Pratt runs Virlie’s Grill, a downtown restaurant in historic Pittsboro where the meatloaf sandwich, a Friday special, is served with small-town familiarity.

Subject: Bradford Pear Dilemma

Re: the Bradford Pear Dilemma

Your Chatlist post about the Bradfords caught my attention.  I don’t have The Answer, but can offer a direction of inquiry.  At 12 foot spacing, the trees probably are too close together to ever reach full potential, but that is not likely to kill them.  The presence of shoots coming out of the trunks (water sprouts) is evidence of a tree in decline but not typically a cause of the problem.  It may be worth noting that all Bradfords are grafted on Callery pear rootstock and anything below the graft is technically not a Bradford.
