on Sunday, the breeze started blowing the white blossoms off of the #CalleryPear (aka #BradfordPear) that we planted 23+ years ago, shortly after moving in.

Love spring, the blossom on the trees, the flowers everywhere. 💮

#CalleryPear trees (including the ‘Bradford’ pear) may look pretty, but they’re causing problems for native ecosystems and are species invasive here in Virginia.

Better Alternatives: native flowering trees like serviceberry, redbud, or dogwood instead—they support wildlife and look beautiful.

Callery Pear or Pyrus Calleriana. Gorgeous bush that blooms in early spring, and the flowers are very fragrant. Fruits are inedible though. #callerypear #liveandloveflowers #blueskyflowers

Some communities offer a bounty and/or help with a replacement. Please replace w/a appropriate native tree. Thank you for your help. ;-)

What’s the Problem With Bradford Pears?
One by one, states are banning the beautiful but invasive tree—and for good reason

It's Bradford Pear season here. Time to make sure your chainsaw is in working order. Having trouble finding trees? They stink & have showy white blooms. If you're good, you can take out a dozen in your neighborhood before you go to jail! #spring #CalleryPear #BradfordPear #PyrusCalleryana

I think my job is actually taking my recent callery pear removal proposal seriously.

Thanks to the Missouri Senate bill 105, which makes callery pear illegal to sell starting January 1st, 2029.

We need to emphasize the "invasiveness" part of the picture. In much of the eastern US, ornamental pears are in an exponential growth phase, overgrowing old fields and becoming the dominant species. They should never be planted for any reason! See alt text.

The #AmericanRobins are here for a visit! They always visit our schoolyard to eat from the CalleryPear trees along the sidewalk. #Birds #Nature #MigrationStop #EastCoastKin #VT

Which trees and shrubs are non-native? The ones that still have leaves. 🌳🌿 #CalleryPear #AmurHoneysuckle
