@#!#@$ @#$@#$# Bradford pear trees!
The storm that blew through about 15 minutes ago finished off 2 of what the ice storm left. This time one of them took half of a just maturing tulip poplar with it.
A pox on the demented person that brought these stupid, worthless ornamental trees to the US.
If you are thinking about planting these things... don't. Unless you plan on hiring someone to prune the heck out of them every 2 or 3 years after they mature, they break down if you look at them wrong.
2009 has been absolute hell on all of my trees.
Louisville got 7" of rain in 90 minutes this morning. It flooded most of the city from the pics that I have seen.
