Douglas Hunt on Mar 10, 2013Tracey, there are many good alternatives to Bradford pears, which are undeniably lovely when in bloom, but otherwise have a whole host of problems. See this from Alabama Cooperative Extension: http://www.aces.edu/extcomm/newspaper/may10b01.htmlHelpful Reply

Tracey T on Mar 10, 2013Thank you ALL for your comments, I read that they are beautiful but not good trees to have. Jeanette I knew I had seen them in Ga. I used to live in Lawrenceville. I think the climate here is pretty much the same here. KMS love it! Magnificent beauty, I am a sun lover though..lol Doug thank you for the the link, I will check up on it! H.C I would love to see a photo of your peach tree in bloom, please share once it does! I love Hometalk for this reason, being able to ask and receive..Thanks again!Helpful Reply
