The poplar trees are bad for roots and suckers, but also for the white cotton in the spring and the yellow sticky buds?
I have a pear tree and it has done really well. Just make sure either a neighbour has one also or you put in two if you want fruit. They need another pear tree to cross polinate with. It doesn't have to be a next door neighbour ... another tree within three or four lots should work.
