They developed several cultivars and thought the Bradford best. They grew, bloomed and "people saw them and said 'I want one of those,' " says Greg Church, horticulturist with Arborilogical Services. Things ticked along until the trees got older and their flaws began to show. One of the worst problems from an ecological point of view is the tree's invasive nature.

Growers first believed the Bradford was sterile because it couldn't pollinate itself. But it proved to have seeds that are scattered by wind and birds. It pops up in other yards and, importantly, in nearby wooded areas. It pushes out the trees that can't compete for sunlight or space.
