RE: What kind of tree is this..?
I think Fran got it.....looks like a callery to me.
Has all the same features too..... with all the ice and what not that y'all get in SWVA... that explains why a tree growing out in the open that would normally have a nice round crown on top... has a fairly thin, upright crown instead.... because pears (especially callery's.... from which came the insurance adjusters friend the Bradford) tend to sheer off their limbs pretty easily.
