A tree in my backyard is not doing very well. I believe it is a Bradford pear. There is basically no growth above 4-5 feet besides one little green sprout... down lower, there is much healthier growth, however.
Another Bradford pear in the yard seems to be doing quite well - you can see the edge of it in the top photo.
Can you help me figure out if this tree is salvage-able? If so, what do I need to do? If not, would appreciate recommendations for replacements - the Bradford pear tree was here when we bought the house but I have read lots of bad things about them on the Internet.
