If you saw my Picture of the Day post 2 days ago, you know that we just lost the 2nd of 2 large Bradford Pear trees in our yard.
Wind.
Snap.
Gone.
They are weak.
And they are stinky (Spring).
We inherited our 2 Bradfords -- they came with the house.
These 2 sites explain perfectly why I will never plant a Bradford myself.

"Why You Shouldn't Plant a Bradford Pear Tree But Some People Do Anyway"
I love trees. But Bradfords are just plain stupid.
Out for now.......
