Bradford pear by far, they never get a good structure then split in half at 15-20 yrs. They are everywhere...

Bradfords Baby!!!!!! high on my list of trees I will never plant on my property. Next to arbs and crabs.

I have a new most boring tree(s). Everything that grows south of me like oaks, decent norway maples, bradford pears, honey locusts. Palm trees suck too. They're boring because my saw never even touches them.

Here's to manitoba maples (box elders for you americans) and silver maples and boulevard lindens!

But really, there is no such thing as a boring tree! Except plastic christmas trees.

Bonsai trees, because people won't let me climb in them....

Here in NC I would have to say Sweet gum and Bradford pears. Sweet gum is the tree from hell.

Gotta love those Manitoba Maples, 10 pounds of poop (The curse word fits this saying better) in a 5 pound bag those are.

sweetgums are beeyooteeful in the fall, and easy to prune ime.

i'm hating water oaks lately; after 2 days in them--virgins, never been pruned--i have torn shirts and skin from them twigs.

Topped western red cedar. I can't even count how many I've had to re-top, cable, reduce end weight, and then try to make it look decent. (an impossible task IMO) Then, the larger limbs need to be lowered through the canopy to avoid the doghouse/fence/garage/composter/whatever else the homeowner put there that can't be moved. And let me tell ya, big WRC limbs curl more than a mountain road. I cringe every time I see one on the jobsite. I wish I could go back in time and slap the snot out of whoever thought it was a good idea to top cedars in the first place. Ahhhhhhhrrrrrrrggggggghhhhh!

Whew, I needed that, nothing like a good rant to gear ya up for the comming work week.

Also, leyand cypress should be eradicated.
