Wow. The Bradford Pear trees are out of control.
They're the ones along the highways with beautiful white blooms right now. They're an invasive species that are just taking over everything. They were brought here as ornamental trees, but they spread like crazy. If you have some on your property, consider cutting them down or taking part in this buyback program. Apparently, these things are having a huge impact on our ecosystems.
