To the editor:
Take a quick drive or walk outside right now and you are bound to see the snowy white blooms of Callery Pear (Pyrus calleryana) trees. They are everywhere in our community â peppering the streets of Fort Wayne, decorating Courtyard Park in Auburn, and lining many a rural driveway in northeastern Indiana. What you wouldnât know from seeing this vista or by visiting the big box stores and finding Callery Pear trees for sale in the ornamental garden section is that these trees are invasive and killing off our native flora. No one should be selling them and no one should be buying them.
