Crystal Wessel Bad Landscaping, Hazardous Trees May 22, 2020May 22, 2020

At some point, you have probably noticed trees with roots wrapping around the base of the tree. These are called girdling roots, and they can be incredibly harmful to the tree! They are mostly seen in hand-planted trees, as opposed to ones naturally growing in forests, and are more common in urban environments where space is limited, though they can occur anywhere.

Pyrus calleryana, commonly called Callery or Bradford Pear, has quickly become a nightmare tree across many parts of the Eastern United States. What’s so bad about these trees? Read on to find out!
