Well, I will tell you what I have read.

Bradford pear trees were introduced this far south without consideration for their growth characteristics. Up north they behave very well, growing at a reasonable pace for their wood and structure development.

But down south they grow too fast , the wood becomes too soft and if not propely pruned early in life will split and become a nusance. Now in the median of a highway this problem of splitting could also become a serious hazard to cars and trucks.

The Crape Myrtles are a much better idea.
