The deadly Bradford pear tree

We hate to be the pearer of bad news, but your favorite springtime tree in Derby City is prohibited.
Bradford pear trees,a cultivar of the Callery pear native to Asia, were introduced to the US in the early 20th century.
Recognizable for their white flowers and strong, distinctive smell, these beautiful-but-pesky trees cross-pollinate with other pear trees, producing harmful offspring that threaten the lives of native trees and create food deserts for birds.
So what can we do? The best course of action is not to plan any new ones, but we’re not here to burst your beautiful springtime buds, here are four native trees Sullivan recommends planting instead.
Serviceberry.This large shrub or small tree produces white flowers + blueberry-like fruits.
Redbuds. Rosy pink flowers will appear in April.
Sassafras. A larger tree that produces bright yellow spring flowers.
Yellowwood. This hardy ornamental tree produces beautiful, dangling flowers.
