This is such a magnificent, day-dreamy old Callery Pear. You probably have some up where you are

Hm, I'm not sure. Don't think I've ever seen them anywhere in my area before.

I'm sure you have, Bradford Pears are a variety of this tree....this is just a really old, gigantic one with moss. They bloom around the same time peaches do.

Hm. I dunno. I don't see too many Pear trees around here

They are purely ornamental (they dont make pears)and are often planted in yards and along streets. They bloom before they leaf out

Ah ok. We don't have too many people with decorative trees around here since most people end up cutting down the trees they already have there :/

I know. Its ridiculous. We only cut down our trees when they might fall on the house.
