Claritin City.
Claritin City.
Gesundheit, c&c. Actually I prefer splashing cool water on my face to get rid of the pollen. Works really well, though it is not as easy to carry a sink in your pocket as the pills.
rats! he’s not here for me to ask him…
durn!

Are they azaleas? I’m not sure. Try this: http://www.flickr.com/groups/whatplantisthat/
Good tip, I, thanks. It’s a really common tree on the streets of NYC. I’m sure it will be a snap for them.

Not really. I mean an ornamental pear, one that is grown for it flowers. These plants might bear rather small fruit, if at all. Also bear in mind that apples and pears are self incompatible so they only bear fruit if pollinated by a different individual. The street trees are probably all the same grafted variety ie the same individual.
So, if I could obtain the pollen from the same species but not the same graft and took a paint brush and dusted the blooms, I might be able to harvest some small inedible pears in the fall? Cool.
Thats fascinating information, Nuytsia, thanks. You seem to know what you are talking about, do you want to call it identified?
I think this probably an ornamental Pyrus (Pear) of some sort.

Are you talking about a tree that would actually produce pears, Nuytsia? I’ve not seen these trees do that.

That’s it. This is why pear orchards always have more than one variety and garden trees are often sold with two varieties grafted on the same stock.
A number of flowering pears have popped up in the ID groups pf late and apparently one feature of them is that the flowers can smell fairly bad. Callery Pear (Pyrus calleryana) has often been named as the culprit and is a popular street tree in the US.

Thanks, Nuytsia@Tas. Flickr is great for learning stuff like this.
