The Bizarre Reason to Cut Down Your Bradford Pear Tree

 

[1BROWNWRENCH]

‘Curious’ boy, 13, gets USB cable stuck up his todger forcing doctors to cut him open to remove it

No boys, that little hole in your todger is not to put things into. Lol.

He got it backwards.

@upschuck are you watching the game? Looks like Croatia might just pull it off!

I did, good game. My English buddy must be crying right now.

@MyTripisCut didn’t you say you did paving work for a while? This isn’t normal for pavers to tear up the apron to someone’s driveway then claim it isn’t their responsibility to fix it after paving the road, is it?

They suck. I have to top mine every year. They grow so fast and are so weak. They do look nice though.

I wouldn't have one for anything. They look ok but they split at the first sign of a stiff wind after 10-15 years.


My trees will be planted with 100 years down the road in mind. Things like white oaks.

Is that @olroadbeech drive? You didn't leave ruts did you?

That looks like a new driveway and they milled too far into the street.

I just planted three Leland Cypress in my backyard. My neighbor has a whole hedgerow of them. His grew 15 feet at least in five years. No problems yet.

The people who put the last layer on the road did that. There are about 50 one million dollar houses in the neighborhood with driveways all looking like that. Some of them, like that one are brand new. The pavers even left the entrance to the neighborhood in worse shape than the driveways. Lol.

I saw a neighbor with a corner lot plant rows of them on 2 sides of his house. 2 or 3 (of about 30 trees) died the first year or so but once they got established he has had little trouble with them.

They have a reputation for being weak in snow and wind. We had three nor’easters here in March and his did fine.

He uses them as a windbreak. He is at the corner of 2 country roads with nothing but open fields around him.

These were here when I bought the house. A lot of developments were planted with them.

They planted a lot of silver maples around here. Quick growing but crappy shade trees.

But they’re great at telling you when rain is coming.

They get big.

Yea, when the leaves are wet, you know for sure.
