Did that for a Bradford pear that blew down in a storm in 01. Another tree grew back in its place.

Bradford pear is a grafted tree. A regular pear grew from a root in the ground.

We did get fruit from the tree. Had I cut the sprouts off at the ground the last time I wouldn't have a tree there now.

Fruit plants are the only ones I like in my yard.. At least you get fruit for your hard work keeping them trimmed and cleaning up after them
