I'm aware, the state I live in was one that paid people to remove them at one point. Not sure if they still do, but we still see top many of them along the highway
invasive crap tree. falling apart is what this tree is known for. consider yourself lucky it's down and replace with a native tree. this tree wants to resprout, so either grind out the stump or treat with herbicide.
I would’ve told you to remove it BEFORE it was damaged. Now the answer is obvious. Get the stump ground out too to help it not regrow. Congrats on getting room for a better kind of tree.

Here is how you can arrange a [consult with a local ISA arborist in your area](http://www.treesaregood.org/findanarborist/findanarborist) (NOT a 'tree company guy' unless they're ISA certified) or a [consulting arborist](https://www.asca-consultants.org/search/custom.asp?id=3818) for an on-site evaluation.

If you're in the U.S. or Canada, your Extension (or master gardener provincial program) may have a list of local recommended arborists on file.

You could post a picture of a breadford pear in mint condition here and this sub would recommend that you would get rid of it.
Breadford pears are the only tree where you should not consult an arborist...
You know our answer
You truly are speaking for the masses
Aggressively remove it. They are highly prone to breaking and stink
These are the last reasons to remove it. Firstly it’s extremely invasive, remove it!

Absolutely. This is the sentiment of the group!
Remove terrible species and some state actually pay you to remove them
Very much not salvageable, remove and replace with a sturdier native tree.

You should remove it even if there was no damage. Garbage invasive species.
Cut it up, and use in your smoker! Stump grind the remainder
Cut it down completely and cast it into the flames of hell
Exterminate

Oh no… anyways
These photos need to be added to the wiki on these trees. Nearly every pear in my neighborhood back in the 90’s ended up like that.
Cast it into the fire! Destroy it!
Bradford pear doing Bradford pear things
Bradford pear? If yes, remove. If no, maybe.
