You could cut at ground level, apply glyphosate or garlon concentrate to cut surfaces, and never have any more problems with those confounded pears. As to the suitability of black cherry, I will add that if the trees should happen to grow well and attain size, especially if carefully limbed up as they grow, some very valuable lumber will be forming. Then the other item I want to mention; I get the need to have diversity in plantings. that's an obvious point. But.........I see that diversity as pertaining to a larger area. So, if you want the effect of an allee-a row or double row of all one species, the aesthetic effect can be impressive. For that reason alone, a monoculture is often the right choice. You have the whole of the rest of your property to work with other species. I applaud your decision to get rid of what is shaping up to be one heck of an invasive plant. +oM

Hi Everyone, I'm a scientist working on butterflies, and I'm trying to get ahold of a Zebra Swallowtail for some genetic analysis (I live in New Jersey). This seemed like a good thread to inquire if anyone living in the southern US might be able and willing to collect (or already has) one of these butterflies they might be able to spare? Full disclosure, sadly the specimen would need to be sacrificed for DNA extraction. However, the knowledge we'll gain from this will be invaluable to the scientific community. If you have any thoughts/suggestions/leads on this, please contact me (maardema@gmail.com). Thanks!

thanks, sandy! i was down at that part of the property about to stake off where i want to install my 'native garden' and noticed it! i could have sworn i saw a seed pod, but when i got back from getting my camera it was dark and i couldn't locate it... i'll look again tomorrow. at least now i know what to look for!! i just think it is so funny that i have literally spent hours cruising around these back roads and didn't find any (probably overlooked a lot), but found some at home :)
