I am sure the people that own the homeI owned 15 years ago are happy, because I planted two. That was before I realized the blooms smell horrible, and now I learn this. WHOA!
Thank you for sharing, Kim.

I've been told if the tree is pruned right, they don't split. However, the trimmer that told me this didn't elaborate so I could pass this valuable information to others! And they do stink! I opened my car windows one Spring morning while passing a grove of them, inhaled deep... Only to smell ... Fungus? Phew!
Oh no sorry that happened! What a bummer. Unfortunately we have a few tall pines near us. Uggh.
Oh no, I'm sure that was a scary surprise! We have one in our yard too and have been meaning to take it down for forever. I guess I should move that up the list!
I'm sorry! I am so glad you and your house are safe and sound.
OMG! I am so sorry. So glad the dollhouse was spared! Coincidentally, our house that was built 15 years ago (not kidding) had a big ole smelly Bradford pear in front of it until we finally got around to having it cut down a couple of weeks ago (for the very reason you illustrated). Now, we can actually see the front of our house and don't have the threat of a broken tree. Crazy!!
Oh no!! Glad it didn't hit the dollhouse. That's scary!!
Oh Ive had this problem numerous times! They say there's a stronger more resistant Bradford pear variety out there, but I haven't seen it. Im tired of cleaning up the mess after a storm. We cut it off at the base one year, and it is back big as life now. I should keep trimming it to just one trunk!

Agreed. I lost one for the very same reason a bit back. Avoid. Builders love to put them in as they grow quickly, but simply do not last.

Thank goodness the doll house is OK and it didn't hurt anyone. I am glad I don't have one..
Whoa. Glad your house was spared! Note to self to never plant one of these...

Wow! Glad your house was spared.
Yikes! We had two at our old house. Glad we moved!
You are so right...we lost one a few years ago, and my neighbors have lost some too.
Blessings,
Linda
Oh Kim - Im sorry!!! My mom had the same issues with the BP trees!
