Bradford Pear Tree
is a long, slow, miserable, hacking, wheezing, coughing way to go…
I was “getting my walk on” around the block and had just finished a pleasant chat with a friend when I turned the corner and noticed the pretty white trees along the road. It was a pleasant scene for about 20 seconds. That was when I got a huge “mouthful” of Bradford Pear scent…The scent is so pervasively thick that it seems to coat your tongue and inside of your mouth along with producing an almost immediate wheeze…if you are so predisposed. For those of us who are “sensitive”, Bradford Pear Trees are best viewed from inside an air-conditioned vehicle headed away from the pretty blossoms as fast as is reasonably safe.
The good news is…starting Bradford Pear Season early means it might just be over earlier. It is a cruel twist of nature that Bradford Pear Trees are so pretty they take your breath away…
