The Ornamental Pear trees are blooming. They are not a favorite of mine. The tree is a creation of man. Leave it to man to create a tree called a Pear tree that bears no fruit. Many yards and store island areas have this type tree. It grows fast and has a pretty shape without being trimmed. The blooms stink and the tree never will be very big. They break in storms because the wood is soft. They have tiny pears the size of a little cherry. The birds eat the seeds and spread the Pear trees around. The new tree is changed—full of thorns. A lot of man’s ideas turn to thorns. What if REAL pear trees had been planted? Wouldn't that be awesome. Pears growing and spreading with fruit to eat!

So is it called the Bradford Pear Tree? If so they are also a mess! My neighbors all have them and they make a mess all over my yard.
Bradford pear only pretty from a distance. You should be able to grow a real pear tree in your neck of the woods :)
