A beautiful garden is a true decoration of a home and an indicator that the owners care about their home and its surroundings. Regardless of whether you are gardening yourself or inviting specialists, it is important to know which ornamental trees the American authorities are urging to cut down.
Many South Carolinans adorn their cozy courtyards and gardens with ornamental trees - beautiful foliage in fall, abundance of white flowers in spring and summer, graceful shape makes these trees an attractive choice. But the State Forestry Commission is urging to cut down these trees and hinder their growth, writes TipHero.
At first, it may seem strange to have a beautiful tree cut down, but this has its own reasons. Trees, which are called Callery or Bradford's pear, are not primarily characteristic of the nature of the state. They were brought in 1909 year and they represent a serious threat to the local flora.

It is logical to ask - why did they remember now, when trees have been growing in the state for over 100 years. Previously, Bradford pears were sterile and did not bear fruit. In the XNUMXs, the situation changed - the trees received cross-pollination and began to produce fruit abundantly.
These fruits are eaten by birds, which throw seeds in the fields, as a result of which new trees begin to grow there. And now this is already dangerous - there are huge thorns on the trees, which are so sharp that they can even puncture the tractor tire if the equipment hits a fallen branch. Just imagine stepping on one! These thorns are dangerous to both humans and animals.
Bradford pears are also dangerous in urban environments. Tree branches grow straight, which is beautiful in appearance, but also means that they are not very strong. A strong wind and even a moderate thunderstorm can lead to a fall of the branch, the tree may even split in half!
