ahhh yes, the Cat-spray/feline sperm odor of those beautiful yet stinky
non-fertile blossoms. To behold them is to remember why they were put on
the market, but to smell them on a warm day in full blossom reminds me why I
wouldn't have one if you offered it with a C-note (I might take it and give
it to some landscaping crew who didn't know any better and spend the C-note
on an order divided up between Heronswood and Forest Farm Nurseries g) and
yes, for the brittleness of the wood too is yet another reason I don't like
the Bradfords. Enough around here in Eastern Tennessee when the wild black
cherries fill the woods with their illuminations. If you GOTTA have an
early flowering tree, at least the Cleveland pear is the best. Do you have
a picture of the Mexican plums? I'd love to see a blossom and the tree up
close............

I saw a robin yesterday, the Mexican plums are blooming and so are the
poor
Bradford Pear trees. This being Austin, TX.
