I'm sure there is bad experiences out there with the Bradford Pear that can corroborate with my claims. Actually, I have had a Bradford Pear before, 'Cleveland Select'. But, I think it is also very similar to the regular Bradford as far as the same bad features. I once bought 2 in about 2007 at a mobile home where I used to live. I haven't been up there in about 3 years to see how they've grown.
They aren't near any structures, (if their still there), so when they fall, it should just be on the grass.

A wildfire prone area? No. You never know though. Years ago we had home health care aides here. One time an aide just walked away from an electric skillet, it was on for 45 minutes on 400° before I noticed it. I'm sure that was just an accident, we never told her, but things like that can start a fire. Lucky I was unemployed, (and home), then, too, and saw the skillet on.

Thanks, I'll get them seeds planted real soon, Mipii. Them black and white eyeballs of yours are neat!
