Q&A – What are the trees with all the blooms in the woods?

Question:
What are those trees with white blooms all over in the woods?

Answer:
In the southeast United States these are wild pear trees. They are a cross between the Bradford pear and the various callery pear varieties. The birds spread the seeds in the forests and fields. In some states the Bradford pear has been labeled as an invasive plant because it spreads so easily.
