Question
I just bought a home in Little River SC.  My brother says the tree in my front yard is a boy bradford pear tree.  It has tons of small round fruit on each limb that smell like pears. Can you eat these pears or feed them to animals horses/pigs?

Answer
This is the fruit. Bradford pear fruit doesn't look pear-shaped, but instead is small-less than 1/2 inch-and also round, hard and brown. It's inedible at this stage. The fruit doesn't cause a big mess or attract much wildlife and may not even be noticeable, if you don't look closely. They are not edible and will not grow any bigger.
