All I know is frick a Bradford Pear


My bad, I didn't read this entire post. People love them because they grow fast. That guy I had to hire to come cut the rest of mine up after a storm knocked half of it down told me don't ever replant those. The limbs grow to fast for the trunk to maintain the weight.

Side note. In the fall, tons of leaves and mess everywhere and in the spring they're just a big ole wind sail and full of pollen.

The better reason is that they are invasive, don't belong here, and will take over any area, choking out most native life that tries to grow. They also provide very little to our native ecosystems.
