Preach it. This is absolutely my least favorite time of the year. I hate all cold weather but Jan thru the end of Bradford Pear season can die in a fire as far as I'm concerned. And if you have one of those aforementioned demon trees with it's special fragrance and it's devils pollen polluting the air you can get 2nd degree burns in said fire

I planted 3 Bradfords in my yard in 1996 when we moved in this house. Over the years, they got huge. I probably never really trimmed them correctly but eventually they got old and started to break. I had a guy come in and take them down, grind the stumps and put sod down.

I can honestly say it was one of the best things I have ever done for my yard

Once they started to break, there was no stopping it. I would say that was 7 or 8 yers ago so they lasted 15 years or so.
