Among the skipped-over plants was the Bradford pear tree, whose profuse white blossoms now line busy streets by churches, businesses and even newly built city projects.
Their young offspring, easily planted by birds who pluck the berries, often cluster themselves in nearby fields, an early bloomer that outcompetes native plants. ....
