You could cut all those Bradford pears down and it'd be ok. They're showing up, volunteer here.Branches are all cut down. Just need to go around and load them on the trailer to dry until I can burn them. Mowing should be more pleasant next time. Cut some suckers off the Bradford pears that made it hard to get up close to them too.

This one was about 8' tall and about the same in diameter. I've got it down to just about head height now. I'd just as soon get rid of it.I have four over grown ones to deal with yet, right in front of my garage windows.
Two more out back that I'm just going to dig out.
They're only chest high, though. Manageable, but I would trade for dwarf lilacs if I could economically do so.
I'd been letting Mother Nature do it but they keep coming back. I hate 'em. Had 3 but I'm down to 2 now.You could cut all those Bradford pears down and it'd be ok. They're showing up, volunteer here.
We've got a tulip poplar out front that's about a foot in diameter and probably 30' tall. Susan and I brought it home from Lake Monroe when it was only about a 2' tall sapling. Probably around the same time we got the wisteria start.Count me among the tree planters.

Bought 1500 trees from the state nursery at Livonia when I moved home from Germany and left the service. Turned the front 40 acres of pasture back into jungle. Some took better than others.. Been fighting the bush honeysuckle and the autumn olive since b4 that.Count me among the tree planters.

Big tree guy! I used to answer, "Why did you move all the way up here from Texas?"
Me:

If you are talking about the very invasive Lonicera japonica, it is banned from cultivation in Indiana, I learned from the local farm coop.the Asian honeysuckle are are huge problem up here, they are taking over a lot of woods, killing off everything else
Those look OK to me. Brass threads. Important! Otherwise, deal breaker for me.Just ordered a new garden hose from Ace for out back. The one I've got is old and getting stiff and brittle and kinks really bad. The new one is supposed to be kink-proof.
