Back to EpisodesReno's Stinky Spring: Bradford Pears' Unwelcome Bloom
Description
Spring in Reno brings an annual onslaught of stench from Bradford pear trees, known for their foul odor and invasive nature. These fast-growing trees, imported from China, release natural chemicals that attract flies for pollination. Despite their hardiness, theyre banned in thirteen states due to their negative impact on native plants and wildlife. Renos urban forestry team has halted new public plantings and encourages homeowners to choose more suitable, less smelly options.
