Flowering pear trees, the same as we had back in Lubbock. Found out they are an invasive plant up here. I would never have them again.

I don’t remember the stench!

Probably because they were fairly small trees and there weren't many others around the neighborhood. When Alexis lived in McKinney, the whole area stunk in the spring. They had a huge one in the backyard. She hated it in the spring.
