Dirr says: "the tree has reached epidemic porportions and is over-planted similar to Green Ash, Silver Maple and Siberian Elm; 'Bradford' is beautiful but not a panacea for urban planting; to some extent problems are now starting to appear that should give reason to temper enthusiasm for the cultivars; incompatibility and severe splitting are occurring on older trees."
