Joel, I remember at our first house in 1990 looking for a flowering tree for the front yard. We went to the garden store and they recommended the “perfect” tree, a Bradford Pear….now when I drive along the highways and byways every spring, I’m amazed at the invasion of Bradford Pears…..
Confession: also in the nineties, we planted five Bradford pear trees in a commercial building we once owned in North Salem, NY. We didn't know any better. Now I'm battling them in PA. There will be much more on invasives as Backyard Stewardship rolls along. Thanks for your comment.
