The timely tree

We have a pear tree on the hill. It's a large, pretty tree.
Early in the spring the south side of the tree blooms in fine little white clusters. About the time the south side blossoms begin to fade, the northern branches produce larger white blossoms. This tree is half Bradford Pear and half fruit bearing. We can only speculate as to its beginnings. The trunk comes out of the ground as one trunk and splits within a couple of feet into two large branches. The branches that come off the northern stock branch bear large pears. Those that immerge from the southern stock have the small round 'fruit' of Bradford’s.
There are some branches that seem to come from the north that have the small white blossoms, etc. But if you look closely, you will see that one branch passes completely through another branch. The same is true on the south side. Trying to determine its origin – just because I’m like that- is difficult, though it really is inconsequential. Is it a fruit variety with a graft of a Bradford or is it a Bradford with a grafted fruit tree? Or perhaps did they start as two little stocks of different varieties and eventually over the years grow up to look like one tree. I’m not considering cutting it down or anything, but it’s a curiosity to me.
In this politically charged year, it seems we have a whole slew of these running for president.
The video clip attached to my blast is a collaberation between myself and a friend using the photo Tulsa at Night. It just evolved, no particular reason, but I think it was fun. If you have time to view it, I hope you will.
