[RC] bradford pear trees - Evelyn Allen/Patrick Allen
There
are several varieties of the Bradford Pear. Some smell, some don't but I do agree
that the ones that do smell are gaggy. I live in Chula Vista, CA and have them
all over our complex. I have to almost hold me breath when I get out of my car
to walk to my front door. The blossoms are beautiful though, and in the spring
when their petals start to fall my walkways look like it has snowed big time.
Fun shuffling your feet through all the fallen petals and pretending it has
snowed while it is 75 degrees. Their leaves are really beautiful in the fall
and the colors last quite awhile. They make lovely wreaths to hang on your door
and watch them change colors.
