Two Bradford Pear Trees and...

 


Wasn't it supposed to have a partridge in it?
This tree is down the hill from my apartment building.  Here is a view from the other side of it, looking up towards my apartment building.



You can see the entire structure of the other tree, uphill from my apartment. Last fall it didn't have the usual pretty leaf color.  And so far this spring, it hasn't had a blossom. I think it will need to come down soon, before wind may break off some branches that land on cars. We shall see...

And oh, look, here's a third and fourth and fifth... already turning into leaves at a slightly lower elevation in town.

I don’t know anything about consciousness. I just try to teach my students how to hear the birds sing.

  5. Signs of spring! Management needs to remove the ailing pear tree. They are not worth saving.
