Local business supports local businesses.

One part study hall, one part ask me anything. I'll be at our local Fresh Thyme Market on Thursday morning.

The junk pile that's been in the kitchen forever and yells at you when you walk by? Come talk to me about it. Bring the scary pile of unopened mail? I get it. It's easier to open it together.

7:30-9:00am Take some things off your to-do or get small, actionable steps for the success over the weekend.

WHY BRADFORD PEAR TREES ARE THE WORST

They may look pretty for a couple weeks every spring, but Bradford pear trees are widely considered one of the worst trees ever planted in American neighborhoods. There are several reasons why.

First, why there are so many of them.
Bradford pears exploded in popularity in the 1980s and 1990s, especially in new subdivisions. Developers loved them because they were cheap, fast-growing, and easy to plant along streets and parking lots. They tolerate poor soil, pollution, and tight spaces, so they quickly became one of the most common landscaping trees in new developments across the country.

That’s why so many neighborhoods still have rows of them today.

But the problems start once they mature.

They fall apart in storms.
Bradford pears grow with very tight branch angles, which creates weak connections. As they get older, the trunks often split apart during wind, ice, or heavy rain, sometimes literally breaking in half.

They smell terrible.
Those bright white blooms may look nice, but the flowers produce a strong, unpleasant odor that many people compare to rotting fish.

They spread everywhere.
For years the trees were believed to be sterile. But when different varieties cross-pollinate, they produce seeds that birds spread into fields, roadsides, and forests. Now they are considered invasive in many areas because they crowd out native plants.

They drip sticky sap.
Bradford pears can also ooze sticky sap, especially in the spring or when branches are damaged. That sap can drip onto cars, sidewalks, and driveways.

And yes… that sap can absolutely ruin your car’s paint if it sits too long. Ask me how I know.

They don’t last long.
Despite growing quickly, most Bradford pears start falling apart after about 15 to 20 years, which means many of the ones planted decades ago are now reaching the stage where they become a storm hazard.

The bottom line:
Bradford pears were once marketed as the “perfect landscaping tree.” Today many arborists consider them a landscaping mistake because they smell bad, break easily, spread invasively, and cause headaches as they age.

But every spring those white blooms remind us just how many of them were planted.

And somehow mine has survived for about 40 years now… just my luck! 🌳
