I asked, will the tree survive? and secondly is there a better time of year for this than another?

It might survive, Bradfords are nearly indestructible.
I think I recall that Xman tops all of his Bradford Pears around Jan./Feb. (when most dormant)

Easyphloem you peice of ****!
WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU!!!!!!!!!!!
YOU KNOW THAT THIS STATEMENT IS COMPLETELY FALSE AND COMPLETELY AGAINST WHAT I AND ARBOR-X IS ALL ABOUT.
WE DO NOT TOP BRADFORD PEARS OR ANY OTHER TREE NO MATTER WHAT THE MISGUIDED HOMEOWNER MAY REQUEST.
Now that you typed this; there is a link on a public forum that has text that says X-man tops all Bradford Pears around January and February.
I just got a phone call today from another state that told me about your statement you made. I have not been on treebuzz to read this and defend myself. I luckily recieved a phone call from another state to warn me of what has been stated by YOU.
You correct this NOW and correct this well or the next time you will hear anything from this will be from our lawyers suing you for public slander. If you wanted to irritate me as much as you possibly could, you have just succeeded.
I hope you clear this up, or I will not back down, I don't care if it costs me $10,000, I will make you pay!
Here is some info on public slander:
----------------------------------------------
What Are Defamation, Libel and Slander?
Generally speaking, defamation is the issuance of a false statement about another person, which causes that person to suffer harm. Slander involves the making of defamatory statements by a transitory (non-fixed) representation, usually an oral (spoken) representation. Libel involves the making of defamatory statements in a printed or fixed medium, such as a magazine or newspaper.
Typically, the elements of a cause of action for defamation include:
A false and defamatory statement concerning another;
The unprivileged publication of the statement to a third party (that is, somebody other than the person defamed by the statement);
If the defamatory matter is of public concern, fault amounting at least to negligence on the part of the publisher; and
Damage to the plaintiff.
In the context of defamation law, a statement is "published" when it is made to the third party. That term does not mean that the statement has to be in print.
Damages are typically to the reputation of the plaintiff, but depending upon the laws of the jurisdiction it may be enough to establish mental anguish.
-----------------------------------------
Stating such a false thing on a public forum is blatant public slander and you meant to do it.
You may very well hurt me and my company financially by the people that read the first page in this thread and do not read on to this page, page 4.
This statement you made is SO WRONG and against everything I and Arbor-X stand for.
It's almost like as if you would have called Mother Teresa a child molester publicly and tried to ruin her reputation; while she was living. No, I am not the Mother Teresa of trees, but I feel that strong about not topping.

As far as this Debbie person that started this thread, good for Boston Bull and others that posted good information.
I think this Debbie person is a troll and maybe a side personallity of someone else on this forum that wants to stir things up.
It's a complete set-up to stir up crap that proffesional arborist get upset over.
I have refrained from comments on the bradford pear topping fight since the Noel thing.
But this is clear that some want to stir things up and easypholem is dragging me into it again.

As for the original question, will it die? No probably not if you HACK IT UP in March or April.
It will create a high maintanance nightmare in the future and I hope your state has some type of Tree Expert Law or Certified Arborist law that the homeowner can sue you for being liable for creating an unsafe and high maintance tree (as well ash shortening the tree's lifespan).
It's like this:
If I went to a medical doctor and said, "Doctor, I dont' like how long my fingernails are, please cut my finger off about half way......". If the doctor said "Okay", and did the work, he should be liable for malpractice work and get the crap sued out of him. The doctor should have said, "NO, you do not want to do that!, there is a proper place to cut your fingernails that will not cause health problems. And refused to cut the finger off half way.
