Bradford pear trees grow to 20-35 feet across, and 40 feet high. They are beautiful and showy in the spring, but be aware that the blossoms are quite smelly.

Pretty much as wide or narrow as you like. You can prune trees to fit certain spaces. Ideally give it three or four metres.

The literature says that its between 25-35 feet wide at maturity. In my experience in partial shade in northern Illinois, its more like 20-25 feet of very dense shade.

This is a fast growing variety and so you need quite a lot of space. Its branches can spread to about 30 feet across, and even 50 feet high. It can adapt to most soil types but needs to be pruned regularly so that it develops good thick branches and mulch for the root system.

Bradford pears grow quickly and they are almost as wide as they are tall. Be sure to plant it at least 15 feet away from the house or wall.

Well to tell you the truth it gets very wide and it also becomes very tall. If your yard is small as it is, then you should not do. But if you have a wide and big back yard, then I highly recommend this. The pears are actually very delicious.
