Don't be silly.

Meth season starts in May after the pollen subsides.

Yeah but then you still have to have some on hand for the fall allergies

And amazingly, the smell is only the third-worst thing about the Callery/Bradford pears in my experience:

2nd: the leather-like leaves that wreck your lawn if you don't deal with them quickly.

1st: the fact they split under their own weight after about 10 years, meaning you need to keep them very well pruned or (better) just replace the damn tree after 10 years or so.

I was in a neighborhood where those trees were reaching 10+ years and one by one they would split under heavy wind and block the street. Ended up replacing ours before it could split on us.

One of our Bradfords split and fell against our garage at just over 10 years. Ripped them both out and dared the HOA to say shit about it.

We lived in Cary. I asked the landscape guy working with us if we needed to go to the HOA or town.

“You’re replacing a Bradford pear with a crepe myrtle. You think they are going to say no??”

Can't stand either tree.

We have about 2 weeks of nice weather every year before the pollen bomb hits and completely ruins your ability to be outside enjoying spring.

Sadly, I didn't get one nice day out and my yard has swarms of mosquitos...
