Replacing Pr. George's Bradford Pear Tree
If Prince George's County decides that the Bradford Pear should no longer be the official county tree, it may choose a new tree for that designation.
Right now, it's considering the Allegheny Serviceberry. Which of these trees would you like to be chosen?
If you have another suggestion, submit it in the comments below.

The London Plane Tree is another non-native invasive. Of the tress on the list, only two, the serviceberry and Hickory, are natives.

Maybe something where we can plant the female trees to cut down on some of the pollen?

I voted for the Pignut...because that is a name you just can't beat.

Eucalyptus? Can't we at least narrow the list to native trees?
