We had a nice view today on this removal.

When folks ask us to prune their Bradford Pears, we always advise them to save their money and cut them down instead. Yes, this is coming from people who love trees! This article isn't exaggerating when it states that Braford Pears are an ecological disaster. They have cross-polinated with every other pear to create Callery Pears which are now on the invasive species list.

"Because of the cross pollination problem, pear trees have now proliferated exponentially across our environment. And, to make matters worse, the evil offspring has reverted to the ancient Chinese Callery pears which form impenetrable thorny thickets that choke out the life out of pines, dogwoods, maples, redbuds, oaks, hickories, etc.

When you see those fields of white flowering trees, please don’t get giddy with excitement over pretty white flowers. What you are looking at are Callery pears destroying nature. Callery pears have 4 inch thorns. They can’t be mowed down. Those thorns will shred John Deere tractor tires. They can only be removed by steel tracked dozers, decreasing the value of agricultural or forest land to the tune of $3,000 per acre.

And, make no mistake about this. That solitary Bradford pear growing in your yard is what caused this problem. Your one tree has spawned hundreds of evil progeny. If you don’t believe that, just take a little ride, and notice all the white flowering trees blooming these days. The closer they are to “ornamental” Bradford pear trees, the thicker they are.

If you want to save the world, cut down your Bradford pear trees. I could not be more serious about this."

All those white blooming trees you see everywhere... do you think they are pretty? If you knew what they actually represent, you would choke on your morning coffee and gag on your scrambled eggs.

It stinks when you become you're own customer!! A bad storm ripped the top out of a big oak behind our house and damaged 4-5 other trees in the process. Thankfully, no people or critters were hurt and there was minimal structural damage! Now for the clean-up......

February thunderstorms in East Tennessee are rare and usually mean business when they hit! The storm damage was so close to home today the boys paid a visit to the jobsite!
