Bradford Pear...........


It is a pear tree that never produces fruit.  The area in which I live was started back in 2003.  Some of the streets are lined with bradford pears.  Other streets show evidence that the homeowners have removed some of them.  I have two of the original three still growing in my yard but very few other neighbors still have them growing.




The trunk of the tree really does look like a pear tree that produces fruit. I really was puzzled about the kind of trees that they were until all of them started to bloom.  Some streets that we travel is lined with the trees from the top of the street to the bottom of it.
