There are other pear varieties that are much more Oklahoma-hardy. Crabapples actually have a similar appeal with their beautiful blossoms and fall colors. They also grow fairly quickly and are more suited to our windy weather.

Glad to see that they replaced those trees and quickly. Can't say the same for the ones removed around the County Courthouse and other government properties.
