These trees are super gross and terribly popular with developers. Nasty.

@keirFox@tiggi.es Couldn't have happened to a more deserving trash tree. Those damn things are *everywhere* here in Oklahoma, I wish we could ban them too

@keirFox@tiggi.es hope they start an incentive program for swapping them with native trees

@keirFox@tiggi.es The Bradford pear is infamously known for its flowers that smell like semen. Several weeks ago I saw an ad online by a company that’s actually selling Kudzu seeds, with the “reasoning” that was used when it was introduced 100 years ago from Asia for “use as a ground cover.“ If you plant it on your property, I guarantee that your neighbors will come to burn you out of your house! Kudzu is known as “the plant that ate the South.”
