I received a “fun” #botany lesson today. A bit of background first. When I bought my house, there were three #BradfordPear trees in the backyard. Now my relationship with the trees can best be described as abject hatred. They’re invasive; they stink, and I’m quite allergic to them, so I’ve been waging war on the fuckers ever since.
I have the trees down, but now their roots keep throwing up new trees, leaving me in the maintenance phase of hell tree remediation. [1/?]

#BradfordPear #CalleryPear is rightly vilified, but keep an eye out for a lookalike this time of year: #MexicanPlum! #Prunusmexicanus. Blooms from #native Mexican Plum smell as lovely as those of invasive Bradford Pear smell awful.

Have I complained yet about the Bradford pears blooming already? No matter when they bloom, they're bad trees. Why? Here's why: https://www.treebountync.com/bradford-pear.html
The good thing is that in some areas in North Carolina, you can get free replacement trees. Also, some arborists are offering discounts as part of this removal program: https://www.treebountync.com/

I also must tag @rossgrady for reasons. :)

What if we held hands under that tree that smells bad when it blooms?
