The view from my bathroom window.... such a grey day; I love it! And the slight signs of spring.

plant an ornamental tree > it’s hailed for its beauty and hardiness > tree gets planted everywhere > we regret to inform you that this tree is now invasive

Half a tree fell over in the backyard earlier this week so my dad’s been chopping it up and moving it to our stick pile and I was helping him today but. The tree was blooming when it fell and I’m allergic to the flowers so now I feel gross

i love encountering someone OBVIOUSLY from a different genre. i was crossing campus in my wizard hoodie carrying six books and a stolen plant cutting and passed this guy, eight inches taller than me and completely shirtless on a 55°F day, with a tattoo in arabic script on his shoulder, the kind of inoffensive blond good looks that get you casted in mid budget action movies and more abs than i’ve ever seen on a real person, and i realized that both of us are interesting to look at, but in completely different ways

Pyrus calleryana, or the Callery pear, is a species of pear tree native to China and Vietnam, in the family Rosaceae. It is most commonly known for its cultivar 'Bradford' and its offensive odor, widely planted throughout the United States and increasingly regarded as an invasive species.

I think there’s something interesting to be said about Bradford pear trees.
They are the first trees that bloom in the spring here in the southern US (and possibly other parts?) You know that spring is on its way once you see their gorgeous blossoms appearing.
But. They bloom first so that they can hoard all the nutrients from the trees that bloom later in the season. And their blossoms, while gorgeous, smell awful. Also, in spite of their name, they don’t even bear fruit. They are an invasive species here.
And I think that sometimes, people in our lives can be like Bradford pear trees. They are beautiful and inviting and seem friendly enough, and you believe you can trust them. But perhaps they are sucking the nutrients from your soil, and they leave you nothing with which to grow. Their presence in your life has not borne fruit, but sorrow and pain.
These things happen.
It can be daunting, I think, to get rid of an entire tree. Their presence is so big in your life, the tree can seem so sturdy and unmovable, that maybe it feels impossible. Sometimes, though, what’s good for the environment— what’s good for you— is to rip the tree out of the ground and cast it aside, out of your path.
Scary? Yes.
But necessary. Once the thing that’s sucking all the nutrients from your soil is gone, you can grow again— you can blossom, you can bear fruit. You will be all the better for it.
