The Cleveland Select is gaining popularity ever year. Selected for is similarity to the Bradford, in that it blooms brilliant white in the spring, sports luscious green foliage after and then displays extraordinary purplish red-orange fall color. Unlike its counterpart though, it is much sturdier and is preferred for its strength over the Bradford. It also shows a bigger resistance to insects and blight.
