Bradford Pear Tree

This is the Bradford Pear, (Pyrus calleryana).  This is about the most common landscaping tree in town.  They plant these everywhere.  The flowers turn the streetscapes white this time of year.  Although the flowers are beautiful they stink like dirty socks.  Take a whiff of some of the blossoms and you'll find out.  Sometimes you will smell them before you see them.
